 Introduction: The Leaven of Kabbalah

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your
faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:4-5

Paradigm Shift – an important change that happens when the usual way of
thinking about or doing something is replaced by a new and different way; a
fundamental change.

Reading the title of this book, one might ask, why do Christians need to
know the secrets of Kabbalah? For the last several decades the Church has
been the particular target of a massive flood of books and teachings on
mysticism, specifically in the form of Jewish mysticism or Kabbalah. The
result of this demonic campaign has been a “departure from the faith,” as
many Christians are now looking to the wisdom of the rabbis for answers to
their spiritual questions.

Like the gnostics, the kabbalists view secret knowledge as the path to
immortality. Mingled with biblical terminology, these secrets are subtly
presented as a means of discovering one’s hidden destiny and as a way of
becoming more like God. Even as mystical teachings are being covertly
brought into the Church, what is more astonishing is that many rabbis are
openly proclaiming Kabbalah as the only salvation of the world and that
this salvation can only be brought about by a global adherence to the law.

This book will attempt to uncover the deception by giving a detailed

description of what Kabbalah is and equip believers to recognize it in its
morphed form of Christianity. It will also demonstrate that the god of
today’s Babylonian and kabbalistic Judaism is not the God of the Bible and
that the current convergence of Christians coming under rabbinic authority
will bring them, not to the one true God of the Bible, but to the
subservience of the god of Kabbalah – Ein Sof – and to its hierarchy of
gods.
The two main sources for Jewish doctrine are The Babylonian Talmud and
Kabbalah. The Babylonian Talmud is a commentary on the Mishnah, an
extensive collection of Jewish legends, fables, and oral law which is
considered in some branches of Judaism as divinely inspired as the Old
Testament. Kabbalah has been defined as a mystical commentary on the
Torah. The word Kabbalah means to receive and may be viewed as the
umbrella under which all Jewish esoteric books are contained. The primary
texts of Kabbalah are the Zohar (The Book of Splendour) and the Sefer
Yetzirah (The Book of Formation). There are also lesser writings with such
titles as The Book of Mysteries, The Gate of Reincarnations, and the widely
known third Book of Enoch (3 Enoch).

The Babylonian Talmud has aptly been called the sea of Talmud for its
endless debates on Torah interpretation, as every word and every letter can
have seventy meanings. As an extension of the Talmud, Kabbalah is
sometimes referred to as the wine of Torah, so named for the distillation
process of knowledge whereby the initiate undergoes a spiritual
transmutation process likened to the art of the medieval alchemist in his
secret laboratory. What is important to understand is that Kabbalah cannot
be separated from its Babylonian origins and is considered a vital part of
Judaism:

“Some modern exponents of the Kabbalah claim that it is a separate

religion, distinct from Judaism. This claim is not only untrue, it is self-
destructive…The Kabbalists call Jewish mysticism the Pardes,
meaning ‘The Garden’… Kabbalah is a living, breathing spirituality
that is nourished by the rich soil of Jewish wisdom and practice…
While one can taste the teachings of Kabbalah even without being
particularly observant of Judaism, you can't detach it from its source.
Kabbalah is the heart of Judaism.” (i)

This book will further show that the god of Kabbalah is none other than
Lucifer, the serpent and angel of light, whom the sages prophesy will
restore knowledge to humanity on a global scale, just as he did in Genesis.
The Kabbalah reveals the identity of its god as an imposter and usurper
from the beginning, as seen in this quote from the Zohar:
“He is the great Beginning, the mystery of all mysteries… the great
source of all being and creation, the primal light that enlighteneth every
man that cometh into the world.” (ii)
While there are many forms of Jewish mysticism entering the Church, none
stand out more than Rabbi Itzhak Shapira’s book, The Return of the Kosher
Pig. Before reading the book, I had yet to encounter a more overtly
kabbalistic objective of the Kingdom of God as presented by Shapira and set
forth by the rabbis of Kabbalah, who sadly for the most part rejected Jesus
Christ as the Messiah.

I first heard of Rabbi Shapira in a video interview discussing his book.

Many of his statements were deeply disturbing, such as the claim that when
Yeshua returns He will destroy Edom; those Christians who are not aligned
with the current state of Israel. I found this statement by Shapira to be
completely unwarranted because the security of the believer in Jesus rests
on the testimony of Christ and His atonement on the cross for sin, not on an
individual’s political alignments in this world.

Much of the subject material in Shapira’s book is deeply rooted in the

kabbalistic tenets of past Jewish sages. Since reading the book, my
concerns have only increased. Among his strange doctrines, Shapira draws
on an array of rabbinic sources to show that Yeshua is Metatron; the (fallen)
angel who gives knowledge to mankind and a prominent figure in the
writings of Kabbalah and the Babylonian Talmud. Equally disturbing is
Shapira’s consistent use of gematria (Jewish divination) and his definition
of redemption, which echoes the voices of the rabbis before him, as will be
explained in the book.

Since the time I saw that first interview, Shapira has shared platforms with
some of today’s leading Evangelical Christian personalities, all of whom
adhere to the popular message of a political Zionist Israel-centered gospel
versus the incorruptible gospel of Jesus Christ, Who is the fulfillment of all
Scripture (See Luke 24:44-47).

As with any work on this subject, many will label the book as anti-Semitic,
when in reality it is simply a compilation of kabbalistic methods of
enlightenment which are based on doctrines of demons. If the book bears
any label, it is anti-Babylonian mysticism, anti-Kabbalah, and most of all,
anti-luciferian.

In 1 Corinthians 1:19, the Apostle Paul referenced the prophecy of Isaiah

29:14 that the “foolishness” of preaching the cross is the power of God to
both “destroy the wisdom of the wise” and to “save them that believe.”

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this

people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their
wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men
shall be hid.

The wisdom of Kabbalah cannot be received without drinking from the cup
of Babylon, as Kabbalah imposes a mystical, esoteric interpretation into the
Scriptures. It is chilling to note that the rabbis repeatedly relate stories from
kabbalistic literature – the same sources Shapira references in his book –
which describe degrees of initiation in which the adept must journey past
the seven heavens and through the doorways of the seven palaces by means
of “secret names and seals…either upon his person or in his mind.” (iii)

The Church today is at a crossroads, as one of the best-selling Bibles among

Christians is The Israel Bible; a Bible without Jesus. (iv) The Bible warns
of false prophets and teachers secretly bringing in heresies to the point of
denying the Lord Jesus. (2 Peter 2:1) 1 John 4:1-6 tells us that we are to test
the spirits of truth and error, because many false prophets are gone out into
the world. In Revelation 2:2 Jesus commended the church of Ephesus for
“testing” those who claimed to be apostles and found them to be liars.

The same holds true today. Growing within the Church is a wide body of
rabbis who impress audiences with their extensive knowledge of ancient
mysteries that are hidden in Scripture. What is not easily discerned is that
these mysteries are rooted in the traditions of Babylonian and kabbalistic
doctrines which arose out of Egyptian and Chaldean occultism. It stands to
reason, therefore, that these same teachers, “illuminated” in esoteric
Judaism, must also understand the “dark sentences” of the craft of
Kabbalah.
Step by step we are witnessing a gradual META-morphosis – a
transformation – of the Gospel in which the centrality of the position of
Jesus Christ in Scripture is slowly being replaced by another gospel,
another spirit, another Jesus, another kingdom; and the voice of the
Bridegroom still calls, “Come out of her My people.”
 Chapter 1

The Transformation

I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises
to You. I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name.
For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your
word above all Your name.
Psalm 138: 1-2

Transform – mĕtaschēmatizō; (from the root word mĕta), to transfigure

or disguise; a metamorphosis, to change, convert, transmute; an
alchemical change in substance.

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness,
so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not
preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not
received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may
well put up with it…For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For
Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

Paul, Apostle of Jesus Christ – 2 Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-14

“In the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium (5600 = 1840 C.E.)
the gates of wisdom above [Kabbalah] together with the wellsprings of
wisdom below [science] will be opened up, and the world will prepare
to usher in the seventh millennium.” Zohar (VaYeira 117a) 1

The Moshiach of Kabbalah = Yeshua = Metatron = Another Jesus

The Return of the Kosher Pig by Rabbi Itzhak Shapira is one of the latest
attempts to initiate Christians into Kabbalah by disclosing Jewish mysticism
in an orthodox light. The premise of the book is to reveal the divine nature
of the Messiah, Yeshua, concealed within the rabbinic writings of Jewish
sages, including the Babylonian Talmud, the Kabbalah, the Midrash and
other extra-biblical writings. In his presentation of Yeshua as the
prophesied divine Messiah, Rabbi Shapira delves deep into the occult
teachings of Kabbalah and the antichrist writings of the Babylonian
Talmud. The inevitable course of this approach will inherently lead to
another gospel and another Jesus.

In 2 Corinthians 11:3 the Apostle Paul warns the church of another Jesus
and another gospel. In Galatians 1:8 Paul wrote, “But though we or an
angel preach any other gospel, let him be accursed.” As ministers of the
Gospel, neither Paul nor any of the apostles ever wavered from the sure
foundation of Moses and the prophets having their complete fulfillment in
Jesus Christ, the Messiah. There was no trading off or compromise with
doctrines of demons such as those presented in The Return of the Kosher
Pig. When Kabbalah speaks of the coming Moshiach (Messiah) it is never
speaking about Jesus Christ, nor is Jesus Christ the Messiah spoken of in
the Babylonian Talmud. The “prophecies” of the sages that Shapira
references in his book all point to the coming of a Messiah that is not Jesus
Christ, therefore he is antichrist.

In the first section of the book titled, “To the Reader,” Shapira introduces
himself as a rabbi holding a rabbinic ordination through IAMCS
(International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues) but
stresses the point that he has “no connection or relationship to Christianity
other than following the same Messiah.” (p. xi) Using “holy Hebrew
manuscripts and traditions” as his foundation, Shapira says his desire is to
present a “Kosher Yeshua”…‘The Pig,’ “through a Jewish lens,” stating that
“there is great significance in the name Yeshua rather than Jesus.” (pp. xi-
xii)

In the introduction to his book, Shapira begins by building a kabbalistic

frame of reference on how the “Kingdom of God” will be manifested on
earth. Kabbalists believe that there is a divine spark (nitzotz) of God within
every person and within all of creation. This is New Age panentheism –
God in everything and everyone. The Kabbalah teaches that at the fall in
the Garden of Eden, the divine sparks were scattered and that the Messiah
will only come when the sparks (specifically the scattered Jews) are
gathered back to the land of Israel. Shapira explains:

“…the two conditions needed to bring the Kingdom of God to earth and to
bring Jewish souls or “sparks” back to God. In Jewish thought, the Messiah
will only appear when the truth (“lights”) presents itself in the proper
context (“tools”)…The restoration and salvation of all of Israel and the
entire world is dependent upon the restoration of the divine Jewish sparks
back to HaShem…The truth by itself…about the nature of the Messiah will
not bring him and his kingdom to us. His kingdom will be established
when all of the Jewish sparks will be gathered again.” (p. 4; Emphasis,
italics added)

It is clear that Shapira is steeped in the traditions of Jewish mysticism, the

same traditions for which Jesus condemned the religious Pharisees of His
time. And while Shapira presents this kabbalistic fable to his readers as
“kosher,” he fails to reveal the full spectrum of this false teaching; that at
the fall, the Messiah of the Kabbalah himself fell into the abyss, that he too
is in exile, and will only be released from the pit when there is a critical
mass of “sparks” calling for him to come forth on the earth!

Shapira also infers that we need the mediation and mystical writings of the
rabbinic sages of old in order to properly understand the Bible. He states,
“In my opinion, the method of presenting Yeshua as the Jewish Messiah
needs to be reevaluated…Some believe that proclaiming the words of the
Bible itself is sufficient…I do agree that the Bible holds the ultimate truth,
but are we to ignore external resources [Kabbalah, Babylonian Talmud,
etc.] that describe the nature of the Messiah…In searching out these truths,
I suggest that the proper context is completely lost unless we use an
approved understanding of the word.” (p. 8, Emphases added)

After establishing an approved framework for his readers to better

understand messianic prophecy, Shapira then sets the stage for the case of
the Kosher Pig by quoting rabbinic sages whose writings say that in the
Messianic era the pig will become kosher again. In other words, “The pig
will return to Israel,” Yeshua will be welcomed by the world and will rule
the nations from a utopian Jewish kingdom on earth. (p.12)

To support his thesis, Shapira introduces his readers to Pardes, also spelled
PaRDeS. On page 27 of his book he asks, “…how are we to interpret the
Hebrew Scriptures?” He answers this question, saying, “…the Hebrew
Bible has left much room for interpretation…Judaism has defined a
systematic method of interpreting the scriptures over the course of centuries
known as Pardes,” adding that “it [Pardes] represents the keys to
understanding the kingdom of heaven.”

The word Pardes means paradise or garden and refers to the Garden of
Eden (PaRaDiSe). It is an acronym for the words p’shat, remez, drash and
sod. According to Orthodox or Hasidic Judaism, there are four levels or
layers of interpreting the Bible. P’shat is the first layer and refers to the
surface or plain meaning of the text. Remez relates to hints or what is
implied below the surface. Drash or midrash means to dig deeper while
focusing on the writings of the sages. Sod is the fourth level. The word sod
means “secret” and refers to the hidden, esoteric meaning. The practice of
sod requires immersion into the occult practices of Kabbalah and Shapira
does not hesitate to reveal this to his readers:

“The word Sod literally means ‘a secret’…One example of the ‘Torah of

Sod’ is Gematria…the Kabbalah and the Zohar are Sod terms that are
familiar to those within Orthodox circles. According to Orthodox Judaism,
Sod represents the highest pinnacle of Jewish study and requires great
care…the main contributor to what later became known as the book of the
Zohar, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, introduced midrash and sod (secrets) to
bring a unique perspective and Jewish understanding to the concept of the
Messiah…Kabbalah is a generic term for the Torah of Sod or the secrets,
which includes the Zohar, among other resources.” (p. 31)

While Shapira is careful to stress to his readers that the “words of the
Hebrew Bible are the only authoritative words that are divinely inspired,”
he contradicts himself later by saying, “However, our tools must be
expanded beyond the Tanach (Torah, Prophets, and Writings)…In order to
understand the Scriptures and come into the kingdom of God, one has
to apply these four methods of interpretation.” (pp. 27, 29, Emphasis
added) So, in order to come into the kingdom of God, we must apply this
secret method of biblical interpretation?

Shapira also informs us that there is a 5th level of Pardes called Remez
HaRemezim – the “secret of secrets” – and that this level will only be
revealed by the Messiah upon his return. “This level of Torah
understanding will remain locked until the Messiah’s arrival.” (pp. 31-32)
To illustrate this system of secret wisdom, Shapira provides us with the
occult image of the Kabbalah tree of knowledge with its roots penetrating
below the surface of the earth; the esoteric symbol of As Above, So Below.
A Hasidic Jewish website explains:

“One of the promises regarding the Messianic Redemption concerns the

Torah we will then study: “A new Torah will emit from Me” (Midrash
Rabbah Leviticus based on Isaiah 51:4. In fact, “The Torah which we study
in this world is naught in comparison to the Torah of Moshiach”…
Nevertheless, while there is only one Torah, this Torah is multi-layered…
The deepest of the four general dimensions of the Torah is sod, the
esoteric teachings of the Torah, also known as kabbalah. Moshiach will
teach a hitherto untapped level of kabbalah.” 2

How do these claims by Shapira and other “rabbinic sages” compare with
Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and forever? Do they stand
up to the incorruptible Word of God? No, they do not!

And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards,
who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should
they seek the dead on behalf of the living? Isaiah 8:19

Jewish mystics refer to Sod as the Torah of Sod; sod meaning secret. This is
because in Orthodox Judaism the word Torah encompasses not just the
Torah of the Bible, but all of the writings of the Jewish sages throughout
history and Shapira references these occult writings on a consistent basis to
defend his case for the “kosher pig” Messiah.

The Torah of Sod is Kabbalah. Simply stated, Kabbalah is sorcery. It is

consulting with demons to obtain secret knowledge, a practice forbidden by
God in Deuteronomy 18. It is man’s vain attempt to return to the paradise
of the Garden of Eden through the kabbalistic tree of knowledge of good
and evil. On page 27 of his book, Shapira states, “Pardes usually refers to
the ‘Secrets of Torah’ within Judaism – the things that are hidden. The
sages believed that in order to get to Paradise (PaRaDiSe), one must get
more deeply into the Torah and understand its deepest meaning.”
(Parentheses added)

Because the knowledge of sod comes from the “serpent” and is satanic at its
root, it is no surprise that the rabbis give a stern warning regarding the
spiritual dangers involved. The occult practice utilizes gematria
(numerology); changing and rearranging the order of the letters and words
of Scripture to find a hidden meaning within the text. Sod also involves a
transformation of one’s consciousness through mystical meditation,
breathing exercises and repetition of “the divine name.” The name that is
primarily used to ascend the Kabbalah Sefirot tree of knowledge is
Metatron. Metatron is a fallen angel and this is who Shapira – through
rabbinic writings – identifies as Yeshua.

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:4

Having established a thoroughly kabbalistic “framework” for the case of the

kosher pig, Shapira attempts to validate the authority of the Babylonian
Oral Torah. Using a 19th- century Hebrew translation of the New
Testament, Shapira misleads his readers by telling them that the word
“traditions” in 2 Thessalonians 2:15 is the word kabbalot, which is the
plural of kabbalah. This is a prime example of twisting the Scriptures in
order to deceive. (2 Peter 3:16)

In his letter to the Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul tells the church to “stand
fast, and hold the traditions” which they have been taught either by word or
by letters. The word which Paul used is the Greek word paradosis and
refers specifically to the Jewish precepts and ordinances given to them by
God, not man. In his letter to the Corinthian church, Paul speaks of
renouncing the hidden things of dishonesty, not handling the Word of God
deceitfully. (2 Corinthians 4:2) However, in sharp contrast to Paul’s
words, Shapira notes:

“The Hebrew word that Delitzsch used to translate ‘traditions’ here is ‫קבלות‬
(kabbalot). The word kabbalot (plural of kabbalah) literally means ‘to
receive’…some of the kabalot were passed, not only by the written word,
but also by the words that were spoken and the traditions passed by word of
mouth...We often refer to that in Judaism as…(the Oral Torah).” 3

The Talmud is the oral tradition endeared by the Pharisees, for which Jesus
so harshly rebuked them. In Mark chapter 7 Jesus, quoting the prophet
Isaiah, said to the Pharisees, “Howbeit in vain do they worship Me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the
commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…Making the word of
God of no effect through your tradition, which you have handed down.”
(Mark 7:7-8, 13) Michael Rodkinson, author of The History of the Talmud,
states, “The Talmud then, is the written form of that which in the time of
Jesus was called the Traditions of the Elders, and to which he makes
frequent allusions.” 4

The warnings Jesus gave to His disciples apply to us today: “Then Jesus
said to them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees…Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of
the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
(Matthew 16:6 & 12) Yet, on page 45 of his book, Shapira encourages his
readers to treat the Oral Torah – the Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah –
with “great respect.” This brings us to the most disturbing part of Shapira’s
book.
 Chapter 2

Enter Metatron, Prince of the Kabbalists

Let no man beguile you of your reward by delighting in false humility and
worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not
seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind. And not holding fast to the
Head.
Colossians 2:18

In his “Glossary of Hebrew Terms” Itzhak Shapira defines Metatron as

“One of the names of the Messiah based on rabbinical writing.” (p. 289)
Drawing from the mystical interpretations of the Oral Torah, Shapira
introduces the fallen angel, Metatron – the Messiah of Jewish Kabbalah.

Part Four of The Return of the Kosher Pig is a lengthy exposé proffering the
angel Metatron as the Messiah. To prepare his readers for this deceptive
doctrine, Shapira writes, “I encourage all of you to continue to put on
‘Jewish glasses’ and to examine these pieces of evidence critically.” (p.
227) He begins by stating that the primary role of the Messiah is to act as a
mediator and to carry our prayers to God. To support his case, Shapira
quotes Dr. Yehuda Liebes, Professor of Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah at
Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Liebes’ work, The Angels of the Voice of
the Shofar, and Yeshua Sar-Hapanim, is partially quoted here:

“…in the order of the tekiot (sounding of the shofar) from the siddur we see
the prayer to the various angels who are called to lift up the voice of the
shofar to the heavens…May it be your will that at the sounding of the
shofar that we blow today…As you accepted Elijah, blessed be his name,
and Yeshua the ‘prince of the face’ (Sar Hapanim) who is the Prince
Metatron, may you fill us with mercy.” (p. 227)

Shapira explains that the term Sar Hapanim translates to Prince of the
Presence, that this is the title given to Yeshua, and that “Metatron and Sar
Hapanim are the exact same entity as the Messiah himself.” He then notes,
“In essence it is because of the Mediator who is called Yeshua the Prince of
the Presence, and Metatron, that our prayers will be received by God.” (pp.
228-229) From this prayer in the Siddur, the occult practice of gematria
(numerology) is used to decode the 72 names of the prince of the
kabbalists. Referencing Prof. Liebes again, Shapira states, “…the term Sar
Hapanim is equivalent in Gematria to ‘Prince of the Throne’ as the one who
is allowed to come to the throne of God and the one who lifts up our
prayers as a mediator for us with HaShem.” (p. 230)

In his presentation of Metatron as Yeshua the Messiah, Shapira cites too

many rabbinic sources to list. Some of these are the Sefer Hayovel, the
Hekhalot, Notes on the Study of Merkabah Mysticism, the Third Book of
Enoch, and The Gate of Reincarnation. On page 239 Shapira designates
Metatron to be the “Holder of God’s full authority” and “the one who will
redeem Israel.” On page 240 he quotes the Sefer Hayovel:

“And Metatron the Messenger continued and he said to me, I am

Metatron, Sar Hapanim, and Michael is my name. He has placed me to
be among his people whom he loves. I am the one who was with
Avraham…I am the one who redeemed Yitzhak and the one who
fought with Yaacov. I am the one who guided Israel in the desert for
forty years…”

He then gives several passages in Genesis and inserts Metatron’s name for
the name of God into the Scriptures. On page 242 Shapira informs us that
in Jewish literature Metatron is known as the Little or Lesser YHVH. This
is an apt description, as Metatron is in fact a fallen angel posing as the
Messiah. Shapira does not admit this, but quotes from the 3rd Book of
Enoch, Chapter 10:

“And the herald went forth into every Heaven, saying: “This is
Metatron, my servant. I have made him into a prince and a ruler over
all the princes of my kingdoms and over all the presence and you shall
speak to him now instead of me.” (Advent of “Lesser YHVH”)

The third book of Enoch (3 Enoch) is a pseudepigraphical work detailing

visions of Metatron upon his throne by Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha and is part
of the Jewish esoteric writings called Hekhalot. 5 In 3 Enoch Metatron is
known as the lesser YHVH: “This version of the Book of Enoch is an
account of a journey to heaven by Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha, the High
Priest. Rabbi Ishmael is first received by the angel Metatron, who proves to
be the exalted Enoch…The whole text falls within the class of Jewish
mystical writing known as Merkabah, or Chariot mysticism…” 6

Based on these fables of mystic rabbis who claim to have seen YHVH, are
we then to assume that Enoch, transformed into Metatron, is also Yeshua
and divine? Shapira gives no explanation for this. Instead he gives greater
endorsement to the Hekhalot literature, which he esteems as, “a body of
mystical writings that developed out of the visions of Ezekiel,” and which
contain “the greatest clues” for Metatron’s identity. On pages 242-243
Shapira quotes from the Hekhalot what sounds more like the words of
Lucifer in his pride against God than the humble redeemer of Israel who
made Himself a servant to all:

“Rabbi Ishmael stated: Metatron Prince of the Presence [Sar Hapanim]

possesses all the attributes that HaShem put in his hand, and he blessed
me…and I was lifted and exalted…Metatron, prince of the Presence:
HaShem created for me a throne of glory and put upon me light and
splendor and glory and grace and mercy…and he opened the seventh Hall
and he put me in this throne…Metatron Prince of the Presence said,
HaShem has loved me more than any other exalted ones, so that he has
created for me clothing with different lights, and he created for me a
coat of glory, and he made me a crown of the kingdom with 49 stones.
And they put it on my head and called out, “The Little YHVH” in front of
all of the angels above.”

Let’s take an honest look at these words above (Emphasis added). Do these
arrogant proclamations by Metatron sound like the words of Jesus Christ
who emptied Himself on our behalf? No, rather they sound strikingly like
the five self-aggrandizing “I will” declarations of Lucifer in Isaiah 14:

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art
thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations! For thou hast
said in thine heart,
I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

We know from John 1:1-3 that Jesus Christ is the eternal Word and God
who created all things: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God…All things were made by Him; and
without Him was not any thing made that was made.” Yet in the quote
above from the Hekhalot we see Metatron – a fallen angel and imposter –
saying that HaShem has created for him a throne of glory, clothing adorned
with different lights, and a crown of the kingdom with 49 stones! It does
not take too much discernment to see who the rabbis are really speaking
about. Compare these statements with the description of Lucifer before his
fall in Ezekiel 28:12-19:

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto
him, Thus saith the Lord God; You were the seal of perfection, full of
wisdom and perfect in beauty. You have been in Eden the garden of God;
every precious stone was thy covering…Thou art the anointed Cherub that
covereth; and I have set thee so: you were upon the holy mountain of God;
you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. You were
perfect in your ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was
found in thee…Therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of
God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the
stones of fire.

Metatron = Prince of the World = Lucifer

another.”
Isaiah 42:8
It is apparent from Shapira’s regard of Metatron that he puts much
confidence in Jewish mystical writings, which he refers to as “deeper
waters.” These esoteric books deny the deity of Jesus Christ, yet give
preeminence to a fallen angel and name him as equal to God the Creator.
Again and again we see that Shapira has no problem relying on gematria
and mysticism to support his thesis that Metatron is Yeshua, Enoch, and
even El-Shaddai! On pages 242 and 244 Shapira provides us with the
following formulas to illustrate Metatron’s “divine nature” and equality
with God:

“Sar Hapanim = Metatron = Angel of His Presence = Yeshua”

“Sar Hapanim = Metatron = Angel of His Presence =

Yeshua = Enoch = Shaddai”

Gematria is a mystical system within the Zohar used to decode the various
names of God from the Torah. Through repetition of the “sacred” names of
God, the initiate is transported to the “throne room” where he receives a
“vision of Metatron…‘the prince of the Presence’…seated on the Throne
like God.” Gershom Scholem was a leading authority on Kabbalah. In his
book, Kabbalah, Scholem states, “In Merkabah literature the names of the
angels easily intermingle with the secret Names of God…The formula ‘the
Lord, God of Israel’ is very often added to the particular name, but many of
the chief angels also have this added to their names…” 7

Quoting one rabbinic source after another, Shapira notes, “…the word
Metatron in Gematria equates to the value of the word Shaddai. We can
conclude that Metatron is El-Shaddai, the manifestation of God who is
visible on earth and visible to men.” (p. 244) At last, the true identity of
Metatron is revealed as Shapira quotes yet more rabbinic sources:

“As we know, Metatron is the prince of the world…And he [Metatron]

is the lad who serves from above as the sages explained…He is the
keeper of the gate. Enoch is Metatron…Metatron is called “the
Guardian of Israel…”…Cholin tractate 44 (Babylonian Talmud)…
speaks about the Prince of the World…who is called the Great
Metatron...He (Metatron) has seven names.” (pp. 244, 246; Parentheses
added)

In John 14:30, just before His crucifixion, Jesus identified Satan as “the
prince of this world.” Paul the Apostle called Satan “the god of this
world” who blinds the minds of those who are lost and to whom the Gospel
is hidden. (2 Corinthians 4:3-4) In Ephesians 2:2 he is called “the prince
of the power of the air.” If Metatron is not Satan, aka Lucifer, then at the
very least he is one of Satan’s fallen angels. He is an imposter sitting on a
throne in the spirit realm, posing as the Messiah, illuminating Christ
rejecting rabbis and mystics with counterfeit visions of himself as YHVH.

Metatron, Merkabah and the Sefirot Tree of Knowledge

Within all esoteric schools of wisdom, the lie of Satan is that eternal life is
gained through ascending levels of knowledge. In occult mythology,
Metatron is the angel who gives knowledge to mankind. In Kabbalah, the
experience of encountering Metatron upon his throne is known as
Merkabah Mysticism or Chariot Mysticism (Ma’aseh Merkabah).
Throughout the centuries rabbinic sages have sought to duplicate the
experience of Ezekiel’s vision of God on his throne, described as wheels
within wheels, carried by four living creatures. (Ezekiel 1) Unlike Ezekiel’s
experience, which was initiated by God, the mystic of Kabbalah uses occult
methods to achieve union with the divine apart from faith in Jesus Christ.
Merkabah mysticism is man’s ascension of the tree of knowledge of good
and evil, symbolized by the Sefirot tree and the six-pointed star, also known
as Metatron’s Cube:

Merkabah – the vehicle used to transport a person to the third heaven to

behold the angel Metatron on his throne; also called Metatron’s Cube, it is
depicted by the six-pointed star. “The Chariot (Merkabah/Chariot
ascension) was thus a kind of ‘mystic way’ leading up to the final goal of
the soul. Or, more precisely, it was the mystic ‘instrument,’ the vehicle by
which one was carried direct into the ‘halls’ of the unseen. It was the aim of
the mystic to be a ‘Merkabah-rider’…” 8
“Merkabah…is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters
to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer”
means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means
the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within
wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one
dimension to another…MerKaBa is an interdimensional vehicle consisting
of two equally sized, interlocked tetrahedra of light with a common
center…it can be viewed as a three dimensional Star of David.” 9
The Encyclopaedia Judaica (a Jewish encyclopedia resource) says the
following in its article on Merkabah Mysticism: “MERKABAH
MYSTICISM, the name given to the first chapter of Ezekiel…The term
was used by the rabbis to designate the complex speculations, homilies, and
visions connected with the Throne of Glory and the chariot (merkavah)…In
Pharisaic [Pharisees] and tannaitic [rabbinic sages] circles Merkabah
mysticism became an esoteric tradition…The doctrine of the seven heavens
and their angelic hosts, as was developed in Merkabah mysticism and in
cosmology, has also definite magical contexts…” 10

But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
vail untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament; which vail is
done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the
vail is upon their heart. 2 Corinthians 3:14-15

Far from the divinely inspired testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as
presented in the Scriptures, Shapira’s book is more like a magical mystery
tour through the endless maze of spiritual darkness that is Kabbalah. If
these esoteric writings of the sages so evidently reveal the biblical Messiah,
as Shapira claims, why have we not seen more practicing kabbalists come
to faith in Jesus Christ? Instead, we are seeing a literal explosion and
embrace of kabbalistic doctrines permeating almost every aspect of society,
including the Christian community. This is because the teachings of
Kabbalah are nothing more than Jewish fables and myths “that turn from
the truth” and which Paul the Apostle cautioned Christians to avoid. (Titus
1:14)
The question must also be asked, why would Itzhak Shapira go to such
great lengths to write a book which is essentially a means of initiating
potential followers of the kosher pig Yeshua into the mysteries of
Kabbalah? The answer may be found in a prophecy from the Zohar – the
main book of Kabbalah – and in the legacy of the father of today’s
Kabbalah.
 Chapter 3

Prophecy, Creation and the Gods of Kabbalah

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit…Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else
make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit.
Matthew 7:18, 12:33

Isaac Luria: Father of Modern Kabbalah

Itzhak Shapira is not the only rabbi or pastor disseminating kabbalistic

doctrines into the Church today. There are many. Even the use of the title
rabbi should raise an alarm, as Jesus told his followers not to be called
rabbi. (Matthew 23:8) All things must be tested in the light of the Bible.
Sadly, many Christians today are not looking past the veneer of impressive
words that sound like truth; instead, they are placing themselves under the
bewitchment of Kabbalah veiled in so called Judaism.

Based on a prophecy in the Zohar, there is a very definite and planned effort
to bring the entire world into the study of Kabbalah as the necessary
precursor that will usher in a false Messiah. This is why the true followers
of Jesus Christ must be able to recognize basic terms and teachings as
defined by the rabbis of Kabbalah.

Of all the rabbis referenced in Shapira’s book, none has been more
influential in the history and development of Kabbalah than Isaac Luria,
also known as the “Ari” or the “lion.” Born in Jerusalem in 1534, he was
and is still known by his disciples as the master Kabbalist. His method of
Kabbalah – Lurianic Kabbalah – continues to be the predominant form of
Kabbalah followed by the rabbis today, as confirmed by Shapira: “…Rabbi
Yitzhak Luria, who was the founding rabbi of the Pardes method…Many
considered him the founder of the “Torah of Kabbalah…He is considered
the father of contemporary Kabbalah.” 11
This brief description of Isaac Luria from The Return of the Kosher Pig as
the founder of the mystical Pardes method and “father of contemporary
Kabbalah” lends itself to further explanation, but Shapira gives us none.
Therefore I present the following excerpt on Isaac Luria from “Kabbalah
Online” which publishes “Kosher Kabbalah From The Holy City of Safed,
Israel” where Luria spent the last years of his life and died:

“One of the greatest kabbalists of all times, he founded a new school in

Kabbalah – the so-called “Lurianic Kabbalah” – which is the basis of
almost all mystical works that followed him… undisputedly the greatest
practitioner and expounder of Kabbalah since Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai,
author of the Zohar… On numerous occasions Elijah the Prophet revealed
himself and taught the Ari the mysteries of the Torah. Every night his soul
ascended into the heavenly realms. Troops of angels would greet him to
safeguard his way, bringing him to the heavenly academies. These angels
would ask him which academy he chose to visit. Sometimes it would be
that of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, and other times he would visit the
heavenly academies of Rabbi Akiva or Rabbi Eliezer the Great. On
occasion he would also visit the heavenly academies of the ancient
prophets…In 5330 (1570), after he had attained an extremely exalted rung
of holiness in Egypt, Elijah told him the time had come to move to Safed, a
city in the Galilee in the north of Israel. There he would meet Rabbi Chaim
Vital, the man to whom he was destined to transmit the keys to the ancient
knowledge…The Ari overflowed with Torah. He was thoroughly expert in
Scripture, Mishnah, Talmud…and maaseh merkavah (esoteric disciplines).
He was expert in the language of trees, the language of birds and the speech
of angels. He could read faces in the manner outlined in the Zohar (vol. 2,
p. 74b). He could discern all that any individual had done, and could see
what they would do in the future. He could read people’s thoughts, often
before the thought even entered their mind. He knew future events, and
was aware of everything happening here on earth, and what was decreed in
heaven…He knew the mysteries of gilgul (reincarnation) – who had been
born previously, and who was here for the first time. He could look at
a person and tell him how he was connected to higher spiritual levels,
and his original root in Adam. The Ari could read wondrous things
[about people] in the light of a candle or in the flame of a fire. With his
eyes he gazed and was able to see the souls of the righteous, both those
who had died recently and those who had lived in ancient times.
Together with, and from, these departed souls, he studied the true
mysteries. From a person’s scent, he was able to know all that he had
done. (See Zohar, vol. 3, p. 188a.) It was as if the answers to all these
mysteries lay dormant within him, waiting to be activated whenever he
desired. He did not have to seclude himself to seek them out. All this
we saw with our own eyes. These are not things that we heard from
others. They were wondrous things that had not been seen on earth
since the time of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. None of this was attained
through magic, heaven forbid. There is a strong prohibition against
these arts. Instead, it came automatically, as a result of his saintliness
and asceticism, after many years of study in both the ancient and the
newer Kabbalistic texts. He then increased his piety, asceticism, purity
and holiness until he reached a level where Elijah would constantly
reveal himself to him, speaking to him “mouth to mouth,” teaching him
these secrets.” 12

From this account of Luria’s life, we can get a pretty clear idea of how a
future Moshiach (Messiah) of Kabbalah might appear, complete with Elijah
the false prophet as his forerunner – in this case, a familiar spirit! In fact,
another authoritative source notes that “Certain allusions made to his
disciples suggest that he [Luria] believed himself to be ‘the Messiah, the
son of Joseph,’ destined to die in the fulfillment of his mission.” 13 Like
Simon the sorcerer in Acts chapter 8, Luria’s ability to perform signs and
wonders greatly impressed his contemporaries and his teachings continue to
influence the followers of Kabbalah today.
 The Kabbalah Sefirot Tree of Knowledge and its Roots

As seen in The Return of the Kosher Pig, Itzhak Shapira has provided
extensive references to the heavenly journeys of the rabbis by way of
mystical meditation and angelic encounters that result in strong delusion.
On page 206 he has included an illustration of the Sefirot tree. In Kabbalah,
the Sefirot tree is referred to interchangeably as the tree of life and the tree
of knowledge of good and evil. It is the bridge connecting heaven and earth
and represents man’s ascent by degrees of knowledge, back to the paradise
that was lost and ultimately to his own divinity before the fall.

Shapira refers to the Sefirot tree of knowledge and its relation to Yeshua
multiple times in his book. Describing the role of Messiah as the last
redeemer he states, “…he will serve as a connector between the heavens
and the earth by the spark of life.” (p. 205) Quoting again from “Mystical
Jewish” sources, Shapira then attempts to show that the female sphere of
binah on the Sefirot tree is a manifestation of Yeshua, “the son of God.” In
his explanation of “The Ten S’firot” as the “ten manifestations of God,”
Shapira states the following:
“The left side of the ten manifestations represents the feminine
attributes, while the right side represents the masculine attributes...the
feminine manifestation of God represents the part of God that we can
see and remain alive…HaShem reduced himself to the “middle point”
or “middle pillar during Creation…Amazingly, the middle pillar is
referred to as the Messiah himself as the Binah or the Son of Ya…The
responsibility of the middle pillar [“the mediator”] is to join heaven
and earth together (called in Judaism “connection of the worlds”)…
The last redeemer is known as the Binah (the son of God), Elyon (the
one from above), the “firstborn” and as a “bull.” 14
Contrast these statements of Shapira with those of 33rd degree Freemason
and occultist, Manly P. Hall:
“The Sephirothic Tree consists of ten globes of luminous splendor
arranged in three vertical columns and connected by 22 channels or
paths… analogous to the first 32 degrees of Freemasonry, which elevate
the candidate to the dignity of a Prince of the Royal Secret…Aima, the
Great Mother, is the name by which Binah, or the third Sephira, is
generally known….According to the mysteries of the Sephiroth, the
order of the Creation…From AIN SOPH, the Nothing and All…AIN
SOPH, corresponding to Kether, the Crown of the Sephiroth, gives
birth out of Himself to the nine lesser spheres…From this eternal and
ancient androgyne--Kether--come forth Chochmah, the great Father,
and Binah, the great Mother…the first male and the first female, the
prototypes of sex.” 15
As a master Mason and mystic, Manly Hall understood the secret teachings
of Kabbalah, revealing in riddles those mysteries related to cosmology (the
origin of the universe) and the god who rules from the top of the Sefirot
tree, Ain Sof. In Kabbalah, the concepts of creation, the fall of man,
redemption, and especially the coming Messiah are vastly different from the
biblical view, and Shapira introduces his readers to many of these cryptic
ideas. Based on his wide scope of rabbinical knowledge, Shapira must also
know the diametrical opposites of Christianity and Kabbalah. Therefore,
whatever connections he is trying to make between Jesus Christ and the
Messiah of Kabbalah are simply not there.
According to the Zohar – the main book of Kabbalah – the god who created
the universe is not the God Elohim of Genesis 1:26, but Ein Sof, an infinite,
formless, unknowable force. Ein Sof (also spelled Ain Soph) may be
defined as “the Supreme Diety…the eternal state of Being…the Absolute
Not Being…without substance, essence or intelligence...the Most Ancient
of all Ancients.” 16 In the Genesis account of creation Elohim is the creator,
but in kabbalistic theology Ein Sof is the creator of Elohim!
The Zohar’s account of Ein Sof creating Elohim:
“Now the pillars stand firm!...The Blinding Flash…the ‘Creation of
Elohim’…This is the Zohar’s name for the first impulse of emanation
proceeding from Ein Sof, the Infinite, through Keter…one spark…A pure
aura emerged from Keter…the aura of Ein Sof…the Creation of
Elohim…” (Raba Zohar 3 128b) 17
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God…
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…Who changed the
truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more
than the Creator. Romans 1:21, 22, 25

Ein Sof is not the God of the Bible, but the god of the Jewish mystics and
sages; the same mystic sages that Itzhak Shapira praises in The Return of
the Kosher Pig. Gershom Scholem was the first Professor of Jewish
Mysticism at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and wrote volumes on the
subject of Kabbalah. 18 In his book, Kabbalah, Scholem relates that Ein
Sof and the Sefirot “are not differentiated.” There is a unity between the
creator and his creation; a oneness between the “Emanator” and the Sefirot
that cannot be known to the “uninitiated.” In Kabbalah God is “immanent
within creation.” Scholem notes, “…the Sefirot do not constitute
“intermediary beings” but are God Himself.” 19
As a professor of mysticism, Scholem admitted that the system of Kabbalah
cannot be explained in a “simple and straightforward fashion.” 20 In
Kabbalah, the Sefirot and its doctrine of “divine unity” represent a “new
plane of mystical experience and contemplation” that “can be fathomed
only in the practice of mystical meditation.” 21 More importantly, Gershom
Scholem observed that despite the wide range of traditions used in
approaching mystical Judaism, the symbols and ideas of “Lurianic
Kabbalah” have “dominated kabbalistic thinking from the 17th century until
recent times.” 22
Many Christians today assume that Jesus Christ and the awaited Moshiach
of Judaism are one and the same. Therefore, it is important to understand
the kabbalistic doctrines on the fall of man and redemption, as these remain
the central messianic themes in rabbinic Jewish thought today. These
esoteric ideas were kept hidden for hundreds of years, but are now being
released on a global scale according to a prophecy in the Zohar:
“In the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium (5600 = 1840 C.E.)
the gates of wisdom above [Kabbalah] together with the wellsprings of
wisdom below [science] will be opened up, and the world will prepare
to usher in the seventh millennium.” Zohar (VaYeira 117a)

“What was forbidden to investigate and to expound upon the day

before now becomes permissible the day after…This is because the
gates of human understanding below have been opened up as a result
of the steadily increasing Divine revelations above.” 23
“Until the time prior to the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, it was
forbidden for Jews to learn the secret side of Torah unless they
understood the whole of the Talmud…Many secrets of Torah are
embodied in a volume known as “The Zohar” which contains these
traditions…The teachings of this book were withheld for a thousand
years with a prophecy that at a time when required it would be
revealed…These secrets have been whispered and then articulated
more and more loudly by the Rebbes of Lubavitch (Chabad)…With this
information a Jew can soar into the heavens.” 24
Every true Christian knows and believes that Elohim, the Creator in
Genesis, is God and that Jesus Christ is God, the “Word made flesh.” (John
1:14) But as we have seen, one of the secret teachings of Kabbalah is that
Ein Sof, through Keter, created the biblical God, Elohim. Again, Ein Sof is
the kabbalistic conception of the god who sits above the Sefirot tree. The
following quote explains, “The hidden, infinite aspect of God is called “the
Infinite” (Ein Sof, “without end”). This name was understood as the proper
one for the hidden aspect of God…The sefirot, not Ein Sof, is the God of
the Bible. Therefore, a Kabbalist can justifiably claim that, ‘Ein Sof is
nowhere mentioned in the Bible.’...The Bible refers only to the sefirot, the
knowable God, not the hidden God.” 25

Bearing in mind that Itzhak Shapira says Yeshua is the (created) Binah in
the Sefirot tree of Kabbalah, we will look at the core doctrines of mystical
Judaism found within Lurianic Kabbalah.

According to Isaac Luria, Ein Sof emanated from himself ten spheres or
vessels of light called sephirah (singular for Sefirot). The first was Keter,
the Crown, the androgynous god who is both male and female, also known
as Adam Kadmon. Because Keter is both male and female, the right side of
the tree represents the masculine potencies of god, while the left side
represents the feminine aspects of god. The remaining nine sephirah or
spheres emanate from Keter through a process of mystical sexual union
known as “hieros gamos, the holy union of male and female powers.” 26
This synthesis of male and female is esoterically communicated in the
union of the two triangles forming the six-pointed star; an occult symbol
whose meaning is known and understood by those initiated into the secrets
of Kabbalah. Since Keter is androgynous, the first two sephirah emit from
him. These are Hochmah and Binah, located just below Keter. At this
point is should be clear that Jesus Christ is not Binah, the result of an
androgynous sexual act and creation of Ein Sof!

In this evolving process, Keter, Hochmah and Binah form a trinity from
which emanates or gives birth to Hessed (male), and from Hessed emanates
Gevurah (female). The next union – hieros gamos – then produces Tiferet.
This mystical sexual union of the sephirah continues all the way down to
Malkut (also spelled Malchuth) the lowest sphere on the Sefirot tree. 15
Malkut means kingdom and Shekhinah; and whereas all of the other
sephirah are located in the spirit world, Malkut represents the physical,
material world in which we live and the Shekhinah glory or dwelling of
god.

The word Shekhinah is not found in the Bible. In Kabbalah Shekhinah is

the final sephirah to emanate from the Sefirot tree. She is the female
counterpart of Ein Sof and the “divine presence” of god in the earth. She is
the daughter conceived in the “sacred marriage” of hieros gamos. She is
the gateway of man’s ascension to knowledge, the “bride” and “queen” of
Tiferet. She is the “mother” who is One with the children of Israel. 27 But
something went wrong in this cosmic drama. There was a crisis, a
shattering of “God’s dream” in which man is now left to work and pick up
the pieces.

The Breaking of the Vessels, Exile and Tikkun

The Fall and Redemption of Gods and Kings

And he [Jesus] said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke 10:18

In Kabbalah, the entire process of creation through emanation is described

as a “Divine Lightning Flash” from Ein Sof which zigzags through each of
the nine sephirah all the way down to Malkut, the kingdom of god on earth.
28 These nine sephirah are also called worlds. In his book, Kabbalah,
Gershom Scholem states that the Sefirot are also depicted as powers and
crowns “since they are the celestial crowns of the Holy King.” 29 Through
the lightning flash of Ein Sof, these crowns rise out of the sea of the abyss,
revealing the unity of creation in the number six and symbolized in the
reflection and union of two triangles, the six-pointed star, from which
comes the Egyptian maxim,
As Above, So Below:
“The Ain Soph at first was filling All and then made an absolute
concentration into Itself which produced the Abyss…the Waters or
Crystalline Chaotic Sea…Each of these worlds has ten powers, or
spheres…AIN SOPH established His first point or dot in the Divine
Sea…the face of God, crowned with light, rose over the vast sea and
was reflected in the waters thereof. His two eyes were manifested,
radiating with splendour, darting two beams of light which crossed
with those of the reflection. The brow of God and His eyes formed a
triangle in heaven, and its reflection formed a second triangle in the
waters. So was revealed the number six, being that of universal
creation.” 30
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as
the raiment [garment] of those that are slain, thrust through with a
sword, that go down to the stones of the pit, as a carcase trodden under
feet.
Isaiah 14:19

The kabbalists say that in order to make room for creation, Ein Sof had to
contract himself to a single point, making room for the worlds of the
Sefirot. This is called tzimtzum. As the lightning flash descended, each
sphere was formed, one after another, each serving as a vessel for receiving
and containing the light. These vessels are also referred to as levushim, the
“garments of Ein-Sof.” 31 But the vessels could not contain the “divine
light” and this resulted in what Kabbalah calls shevirah, “the breaking of
the vessels.” 32

As the vessels shattered the light dispersed and scattered in the form of
“sparks.” Some of these sparks rose back up to their “source.” Others
descended, becoming trapped in matter. Still others fell down into the
abyss and are trapped there still; and because god is in everything and
everyone, god himself is in the pit, waiting to be released. This is the
Zohar’s version of “the fall” and since the time of Isaac Luria, has served to
explain the diaspora (dispersion) as a cosmic event: not only Israel, but all
of humanity, the entire universe, and even God himself is in exile (galut).
Once again, Gershom Scholem, late professor of Jewish Mysticism
explains:

“The divine light…is no longer in its proper place because the vessels were
broken…There is nothing that was not damaged by the breaking. Nothing
is in the place appointed for it; everything is either below or above…all
being is in Galut. And this is not all. Into the deep abyss…there fell, as a
result of the breaking of the vessels, forces of holiness, sparks of divine
light. Hence there is a Galut of the divine itself, of the ‘sparks of the
Shekhinah:’ ‘These sparks of holiness are bound in fetters of steel in the
depths of the shells, and yearningly aspire to rise to their source but cannot
avail to do so until they have support’ – so says Rabbi Hayyim Vital, a
disciple of Luria.” 33
This “breaking of the vessels” is only the first stage in the fall of Ein Sof’s
creation. It is the shattering and falling of the androgynous god of
Kabbalah into the pit, “bound in fetters of steel! Scholem calls this “a
cosmic picture of Galut…a Galut of the divine itself.” 32 This cosmic fall is
also the fall of the first Adam, Adam Kadmon. In Kabbalah Adam Kadmon
is the first emanation or creation of Ein Sof. He is Keter, the first sphere on
the Sefirot tree. He is also Elohim, the “King.” He is the “crown” of the
Grand Man of the Zohar, which is the entire Sefirot tree. He is not the man
Adam, created in Genesis, but is the “Primordial Man”; the celestial Adam
through which all other souls are created. The spheres of the Sefirot are not
just worlds but are also portrayed as powers and crowns. The “breaking of
the vessels” is the fall of the ancient kings, princes and powers:
“The Zohar holds the concept of two Adams: the first a divine being
who, stepping forth from the highest original darkness, created the
second, or earthly, Adam in His own image.” 34 “This is the Grand
Man of the Zohar…The science of equilibrium is the key of occult
science. Unbalanced forces perish in the void. So passed the kings of
the elder world, the princes of the giants. They have fallen like trees
without roots, and their place is found no more.” (Eliphas Levi, The
History of Magic) 35
 Chapter 4

Repairing the World:

The Secret Law of Tikkun and the Tree of Knowledge

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a

new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the
substance is of Christ. Colossians 2:16-17

“The secret must be kept inside the circle of the initiates…The Sefiroth
were revealed to Adam in the shape of the Tree of Life and the Tree of
Knowledge.” 36

“The rabbis have always taught that the Tree of Knowledge and the
Tree of Life are one and the same…whose roots are now in “Heaven”
leading all the way back to the future to the never-ending source of the
Light of the Ain Sof.” 37

There are many secrets in the “occult science” of Kabbalah. Concealed in

the shattering of the vessels of the Sefirot tree is the fall of Lucifer and the
powers of his kingdom. But the kingdom must be restored. The universe
and its broken vessels must now be repaired. This is “the secret law of
tikkun.” 38 From the dust of this cosmic catastrophe the universe is
reconstructed through the Primordial Adam Kadmon, who is the creator of
the earthly Adam. From Ein Sof, “healing, constructive lights” go forth
from the forehead of Adam Kadmon. 39 The spheres of the Sefirot are
reconfigured on a “new plane;” Father, Mother, masculine, feminine, the
“Impatient”…“God of revelation in traditional Judaism” and “his feminine
complement, the Shekhinah…the last stage of the world of emanation.” 40

With the reconstruction of the Sefirot, there is once again a balance of male
and female forces; there is unity between god and the re-created universe.
Emerging from Shekhinah is the one tree and it is here that we see the
creation of man by Adam Kadmon. In the secret tradition of the rabbis,
Adam the man is a microcosm of the upper worlds, a divine reflection of
the image of Adam Kadmon above. In Kabbalah, the sin of Adam is not
attributed to his disobedience to God in eating from the tree of knowledge
of good and evil, but is the premature separation of the unity of the Sefirot
tree. Gershom Scholem notes that in “the Original Sin…the fruit was
separated from the tree, or as another Kabbalist puts it, the Tree of Life
from the Tree of Knowledge.” 41 Far from the biblical Christian view,
Scholem reveals in detail the esoteric belief system of the Jewish sages
concerning these doctrines in the Book of Genesis:

“In the opinion of the Jewish mystics both trees are in essence one.
They grow out into two directions from a common trunk…out of the
common matrix of the divine world…The sin of Adam was that he
isolated the Tree of Life from the Tree of Knowledge to which he
directed his desire. Once the unity of the two trees in men’s lives was
destroyed, there began the dominion of the Tree of Knowledge.” 42

What happened before happens again. The matrix shatters; the singular tree
becomes the tree of “Duality.” 43 Now begins the work of tikkun. Adam’s
job was to complete the work of repairing the worlds begun by Adam
Kadmon. Instead, the “divine light” departed from Adam’s soul and the
worlds descended into chaos (tohu). The female Shekhinah, now separated
from the masculine, descends again into exile, destroying the dream of god:

“And so, it shattered. The very core of reality is G-d’s shattered dream,
waiting for us to pick up the pieces…The fire of the sun, the air we
breathe, the roaring waves of the oceans and all that lives in them; the
Earth and the plants and animals that live upon it; even the human
flesh, its vital soul and the angels above…all are no more than artifacts
of the sparks that fell in the explosion of that primordial world. But
the essence of the human being, the breath of G-d within us, that is G-d
Himself, gathering, refashioning and piecing back together an
impossible dream…it is humankind, not the angels, who can pick it up
and reveal it…That the Infinite Light is everywhere is an axiom of the
Kabbalah…held captive within every object…even within evil itself.”
44

The concept of shattered and fallen “sparks” comes from the Kabbalah
system of Isaac Luria which, as stated above, is still the most influential
form of Kabbalah today. The same website quoted above also states: “The
most common Jewish liturgy today follows the form of the Ari’s custom.”
Embedded within this system are the secret laws of tikkun and mitzvot, the
main channels through which the “redemption” (geulah) will come
according to Kabbalah.

The word tikkun means reparation, to repair. It is through tikkun that the
world will be healed and brought “closer to the harmonious state for which
it was created.” 45 The rabbis of Kabbalah believe that the final redemption
and the messianic era will only be brought about through mitzvot; observing
Torah, keeping the commandments and performing good deeds. The word
mitzvot is defined as: “commandments; one of the Torah’s 613 Divine
commandments; a good deed or religious precept.” 46

The work of repairing the worlds, of restoring the fallen Shekhinah to her
king, and of ushering in the Moshiach (Messiah) is now left to man. This is
called raising the sparks:

“But the essential function of the Law, both of the Noahide law binding
on all men and of the Torah imposed specially upon Israel, is to serve as
an instrument of the tikkun. Every man who acts in accordance with
this Law brings home the fallen sparks of the Shekhinah and of his own
soul as well. He restores the pristine perfection of his own spiritual
body…In redemption everything is restored to its place by the secret
magic of human acts…every commandment has its mystical aspect
whose observance creates a bond between the world of man and the
world of the Sefirot…Thus fundamentally every man and especially
every Jew participates in the process of the tikkun.” 47

The Babylonian Talmud is the basis for the seven Noahide laws. Sanhedrin
56a of the Babylonian Talmud states: “One additional element of greater
severity is that violation of any one of the seven laws subjects the
Noachide to capital punishment by decapitation.” 48 This is another
disturbing secret contained in the writings of the Jewish sages: Mitzvot for
non-Jews or Noahide laws. I mention it here for its close connection to
tikkun. While Jews, specifically the Jewish sages, see themselves as the
main conduit of the light of Ein Sof, gentiles also have a role to play in the
mitzvot of tikkun by “obeying” the seven Noahide laws. I will not list them
all here but preeminent among them is the prohibition of idolatry.
Therefore, under Talmudic law, if a Christian acknowledges that Jesus
Christ is the Messiah, the Son of God, or God manifest in the flesh, he or
she is guilty of the crime of idolatry.

The seventh or last Noahide law is the injunction to establish a legal system
to execute the other six Noahide laws, which are punishable in the severest
extreme by capital punishment. The Encyclopaedia Judaica, in its article
on “Noachide Laws” states, “Except for the last, all are negative, and the
last itself is usually interpreted as commanding the enforcement of the
others.” 49 While these laws are not yet in effect, they are already
considered “binding on all men” and have been written into the legal
system under Public Law in the United States:

On March 26, 1991 the U.S. Congress, under the presidency of George
H.W. Bush, established the Seven Noachide Laws as Public Law 102-14
in honor of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, leader of the Chabad-
Lubavitch. 50

A website dedicated to the teachings of the Chabad-Lubavitch rabbis

confirms:

“The perfection of the world requires the spreading of the seven

Noahide commandments…This implies a level of civilized conduct,
which can be achieved only when non-Jews also observe their mitzvot.
Indeed, the perfection of the world that leads to the Messianic Era
requires the spreading of the seven commandments that G-d through
the Torah provided for all the nations of the world...See also, the U.S.
Congressional Declaration: H. J. Res. 104, Public Law 102-14, March
20, 1991.” 51
 The Path of the Mystic: Knowledge through Ascension

And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from
heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven…And He said unto
them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I
am not of this world. John 3:13, 8:23

In kabbalistic Judaism the primary work of tikkun – the repair of the world
– is dependent on the Jewish sages ascending the Sefirot tree so they can
transmit the knowledge of the kingdom of god to the nations of the world:
“It is the task of the People of Israel to bring the glory of G-d's
kingdom to all of creation, even to the nations of the world…Divine
influx…flows into the world through the spiritual leaders of Israel to
the People of Israel to the nations of the world to all of Creation.” 52

The Zohar teaches that at the separation of the Sefirot tree, a chasm was
formed between the creation and Ein Sof. Everything in the cosmos
descended. Therefore, there must be a way to return to the “source”
through the portals of the Sefirot.
Each sephirah on the tree of knowledge is a gateway through which the
“mystic” must pass through on the path of enlightenment. As stated before,
these spheres or gateways are designated as powers. Through deep
contemplation and visualization, the initiate is mystically transported
through the “gates” of the Sefirot, from level to level, hoping to merit a
vision of the divine. It is not by chance that this form of contemplative
prayer has now entered the Church at a phenomenal rate. This has resulted
in an elevation of seeking mystical experiences with God over faith in Jesus
Christ, the Word of God.
The word Zohar means radiance. The full title is Sepher Ha-Zohar or The
Book of Light. In rabbinic Judaism the Zohar is considered “the
masterpiece of Kabbalah” and divinely inspired. In Kabbalah, the
contemplative practice of meditation is said to draw down the rays of light
that emanate from the Sefirot. The rabbis explain that, “It is through action
accompanied by speech and fervent meditation directed towards a particular
thing that a person can draw down a force from above and cleave to that
object.” 53 In ascension, the heavenly visions of the mystics are invoked
through repetition of the divine or sacred names of the gods of Kabbalah.
Gershom Scholem explains prayer and the mystic way:
“The main path…the mystic way involved the ascent of the soul to a
state of ecstatic rapture through a process of concentrated thought and
meditation…the…hierarchy of the spiritual worlds reveals itself to the
kabbalist in the time of prayer as one of the many Names of God…it is
the name of the appropriate Sefirah on which the mystic concentrates
when reciting the prayers and into which he is, as it were, absorbed…
prayer has an aspect of ‘inward magic’ by which it is empowered to
help order and restore the upper worlds…” 54
The name Lucifer means light bearer. The Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians
11:14 tells us that Satan transforms himself into an angel of light, deceiving
today just as he deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden; with knowledge and
the prospect of becoming “as God.” (Genesis 3:5) The rabbis of Kabbalah
believe themselves to be more than mere men, elevated above the rest of
humanity; a microcosm of the Sefirot of the godhead, which is the
macrocosm. Like cause and effect, every action below impacts the worlds
above. The Zohar calls this “an unalterable law.”
“Now you must know that everything has an inner aspect and an outer
aspect. In the world as a whole, Israel, the seed of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, is considered to be the innermost aspect. The seventy nations
are considered to be the outer aspect of the world…There is an
unalterable law that the macrocosm [the totality] and the microcosm
[the individual] are as like to each other as two drops of water….
through the study of the Zohar and the practice of the true wisdom, we
can bring about an end to our state of exile and a complete
redemption…the redemption of Israel and all the worth of Israel is
dependent on the learning of the Zohar and the innermost aspect of the
Torah.” 55
The true “unalterable law” is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God. All are in need of the true redemption and salvation that only
comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the “true Light.” This includes every
rabbi and every Jew, from the least to the greatest, as well as every non-
Jew. This lie of the superiority of the Jewish race is leading the way in one
of the greatest deceptions in the history of the church; the coming of a false
Messiah through the Hebrew Roots and Sacred Name movements.
At its inception, the Hebrew Roots movement seemed to begin innocently
enough as a means for those wanting to identify with the Jewish roots of
their faith. Today it has completely morphed into another gospel of works
built on the foundation of “Jewish fables” which we are warned about in the
Bible. It is common today to hear Christian ministers say that the Jewish
people do not need to come to faith in Jesus Christ because they have their
own covenant with God. But it is a covenant with death and hell that will
not stand (Isaiah 28:18), because it is rooted in the satanic lies of Kabbalah.
 Chapter 5

The Dark Chambers of Initiation

Daat, Leviathan, “Six” and Transmigration

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of
the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his
imagery?
Ezekiel 8:12

“Before one can approach the secret of Leviathan one must first be
initiated into the secret…the secret of Leviathan has been kept well-
hidden by the sages and mystics of Israel for thousands of years. It is
only now in our generation that permission has been granted to begin
to conceive of its deeper truth and imminent relevancy.” 56

“We have learned…that the world is Divinely controlled in all areas

except for moral decisions where human beings have been delegated
free choice Jews in relation to 613 matters and non-Jews in relation to 7
matters. We have learned that Jews are functionally different from
non-Jews in that they have a neshomah, a part of G-d Himself; the
neshomah undergoes a descent into the body for the purpose of an
ascent higher than the level it was before its descent…every descent is
for a purpose of an ascent…” 57

Despite this elevated god-like status of Jews, Gentiles are encouraged to

take part in the tikkun of ascent or aliyah. Now that the rabbis have been
“granted permission” to reveal the secrets of the Zohar – no doubt by the
angel of light – it is permissible for Gentiles to study Kabbalah! 58 We can
all do our part in the work towards the final redemption. But the way back
is not easy. The path of navigating the spirit world is fraught with dangers.
There are demons and menacing angels demanding knowledge of secret
passwords and sacred names in order to be admitted to the heavenly
mansions. 59
According to the sages of Kabbalah, very few souls ever reach the ultimate
level of complete union with the divine. This is because there are “infinite
degrees” in the kingdom of Ein Sof. Only those rare spiritual masters
(tzadikim) who have attained precise knowledge of the secret names of god
may enter into the “celestial paradise” of the Sefirot. In the pantheon of the
gods of the Sefirot tree, Metatron sits supreme at the top of Keter, the
crown. It is Metatron that the sage mystics encounter “seated on the Throne
like God.” 60

These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key
of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no
man openeth. Revelation 3:7
Another name for Metatron is the Opener, holder of the keys of knowledge.
At the center of the universe of the Sefirot tree stands Metatron, the opener
of the gates of wisdom:
“This is the meaning of the Midrash: “One celestial creature with its
name “Israel” engraved on its forehead stands in the center of the
universe”…Who is this “One celestial creature with its name “Israel”
engraved on it forehead, standing in the center of the universe...The
celestial creature in question here is none other than Metatron…the
guiding light for the stimulation of all human knowledge.” 61
Although Metatron may be going by the alias Yeshua, he is not Jesus
Christ. Jesus Christ alone possesses the “key of David.” Only Jesus has
“the keys of hell and of death” and it is only through faith in Him that
anyone can understand the true “mystery of godliness” hidden in Christ
Jesus before the foundation of the world. The chamber doors opened on the
Sefirot tree of knowledge by Metatron lead only to the darkness of the
abyss.

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall
be false teachers among you, who privily [secretly] shall bring in
damnable heresies…even denying the Lord that bought them….These
are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to
whom the mist of darkness is reserved forever. 2 Peter 2:1, 17
Just as there are infinite degrees of rank within Kabbalah, there are also
endless pathways one may ascend on the Sefirot tree. In the twisted and
never ending quest for knowledge, the pinnacle of enlightenment comes by
passing through the darkness. Hidden just below the first three spheres of
Keter, Hochmah, and Binah is the sphere of Daat, the abyss that separates
the initiate from the crown.
“The Abyss and the Veil are two 'obstacles' to overcome when
ascending the Tree of Life…Kether, Chochmah and Binah form a
trinity, the supernal triad, which resides above the Abyss…Only by
riding the mercabah (=the wagon, vehicle) of mystical experience…will
he be able to traverse the Abyss and contact the supernal triad…It is
said that Daath is the child of Binah and Chohmah…Daath is seen as
entering the mysterious blackness. This void or emptiness…ultimately
leads to the Brilliance of the White Light of Kether.” 62
The word Daat means knowledge, awareness, or connection. 63 In
Kabbalah, the abyss of Daat represents mankind’s loss of knowledge and it
is Leviathan, the “Holy Serpent,” who will restore knowledge to humanity.
The Jewish sages say that Leviathan is a “Torah-code word for universal
consciousness and never-ending knowledge.” 64 One contemporary rabbi
says Leviathan is “the Light of pure consciousness,” and that this “God
consciousness” of Leviathan will return “full circle” to “the original light of
Genesis.” This will come in the form of the “New Torah” at the “ultimate
Feast of Knowledge” in the time to come. 65
“In the World to Come the righteous will recline with their crowns in
their heads basking in the pleasure of the radiance of God’s presence.”
66
This “Holy Serpent,” say the rabbis, “is the fountainhead, root and
essence for all of God’s sacred, revelatory Light.” 67 “The
Primordial Serpent, the “snake” of Gan Eden, the Leviathan, the
penetrating Ray of Light emanating from the Ain Sof, and the
Supernal Da’at of the Godhead, are different dimensions of…
Divine Consciousness.” 68
Leviathan is depicted as the ouroboros, the serpent with its tail in
its mouth and represents the devouring serpent covering the Earth.
It signifies the completion of an age and the return to Tikkun Olam,
the repair of the world. The Theosophical Society’s website (an
esoteric branch of Kabbalah) states, “The area inside the serpent’s
circle represents the whole universe and everything in it.” 69
In the book of Job, Leviathan is called “a king over all the
children of pride.” (Job 41:34) In Kabbalah Leviathan is
worshiped as the “Sacred Serpent” and is the “bridge” across the
abyss of Daat that connects man to the divine. But in Isaiah 27:1
the Lord says He will punish the piercing and crooked serpent and
slay the dragon that is in the sea. In the cosmology of Kabbalah,
the Sefirot tree and all of creation is said to emanate out of the
cosmic sea of the abyss, destined to return to the nothingness of Ein
Sof, the god of forces:
“[In]…the World to come…Those creatures whose work is
complete, now free of their destiny, pass beyond the seventh
Heaven of Arabot and rise up out of the vast sea of Creation,
crying ‘I AM’ as they ascend through the Abyss-Daat of Azilut
and into union with the Crown of Crowns…into the knowing
and being of God.” 70
In Revelation 9:1 & 11 we see a beast rising out of the sea of the
abyss: “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the
bottomless pit…And they had a king over them, which is the angel
of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is
Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.” This
bottomless pit is the abyss, derived from the word buthos which
refers to the sea, the deep, or the mysterious depth. 71
Further in Revelation 13:16-17 we read, “And he causeth all, both small
and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right
hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that
had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Verse
17 tells us that the mark is also initiated in the form of the name of the beast
and the number of his name. Many Christians are unaware that
Freemasonry is a branch extending from the tree of kabbalistic Judaism and
that the name Abaddon is considered a sacred name in Freemasonry.

“We know still more, viz. that Masonry is a Jewish institution whose
history, degrees, charges, passwords and explenations (sic) are Jewish
from the beginning to the end…it is impossible to be well posted in
Masonry without having a Jewish teacher.”
Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise (1819 – 1900), 32nd Degree Freemason.
“America’s outstanding Jew and leading rabbi during the 19th
Century.” 72

In the seventeenth degree…after the candidates have completed the

initiation…after revealing the password…and the Sacred Word
(Abaddon)…another clue to the true identity of the Masonic Deity is
revealed in the Sacred Word of the ritual, ABADDON. 73
 It is also well known in schools of Kabbalah that the angel Metatron
is closely associated with the number “six.” Both the Sefirot tree and
Metatron’s cube contain the six-sided hexagon and are representative of
“the six-sided celestial creature” Metatron. 74 In Kabbalah Metatron is
the spiritual force that is accelerating the redemption through the channel of
Leviathan, the “holy serpent.” As the “holder of the keys,” Metatron is the
entity who will bring balance to the opposing forces of the shattered Sefirot
tree, as quoted above, “The science of equilibrium is the key of occult
science…So was revealed the number six, being that of universal
creation.” (See footnote 35)

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:7

It has been over 5000 years since the serpent first spoke the lie to Eve in the
Garden of Eden, “Ye shall not surely die…you shall be as God, knowing
good and evil.” From that time until now Satan continues to deceive
millions into believing that knowledge is the path to life and that tikkun –
man’s good works – is the way to redemption. In Isaiah 14:13 we read that
Lucifer rebelled against God, saying in his heart:
“I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of
God.”
As the “father of lies” and deceiver of nations, it is Satan, the fallen angel
Lucifer, that is able to deceive the hearts of those who do not love the truth
and this is certainly the case with those who teach and follow the mystical
teachings of the Zohar:
“Da'at or Daas…is a Hebrew word that means Knowledge. In the
branch of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah, Da'at is the location
(the mystical state) where all ten sefirot in the Tree of Life are united as
one…In the Zohar…Da'at is referred to as “the key that includes six.”
The “key” of Da'at opens all six chambers (attributes) of the heart and
fills them with life-force.” 75

The rabbis of Kabbalah say that in the time to come all humanity will know
the unity of God as One; but for now this revolutionary paradigm shift is
evolving through the kabbalistic teachings of ascension and the secret of
Gilgul or transmigration. Gilgul means cycle or wheel and is the
kabbalistic concept of reincarnation. 76 Gilgul, also known as “the law of
transmigration,” is a central doctrine in kabbalistic Judaism and is critical in
the process of tikkun, the repair of the world:
“According to this, everything in the world is constantly changing
form, descending to the lowest form and ascending again to the
highest…Every man amends his own soul, and by the process of
transmigration that of his neighbor. This is a crucial item in the
doctrine of the ‘selection’ of goodness from its exile in the spheres of
evil…Every living being is subject to the law of transmigration from
form to form…We all work, or are at least expected to work, for the
amendment of the world and the ‘selection’ of good and evil.” 77

Once again we see the influence of the serpent; exile is not a result of man’s
sin, but the means to perfect the fallen creation through man’s ascension.
According to Kabbalah, only those who perfect themselves through many
lives are selected out of exile. Based on the writings of the Zohar, the
rabbis of today believe that all of the Patriarchs, from Moses to the
prophets, have returned in every generation to assist in the process of lifting
the sparks and repairing the worlds through mitzvos, or good works.
“Reincarnation may be necessary to complete rectification of all
aspects of each level of the soul…As we go, it will become common
ground that Moshe received the Torah on Mount Sinai, comprising 613
mitzvos (commands) which were to be carried out by 600,000-odd male
souls who, together with their wives and children, amounted to three
million people. These souls (or their fragments) have been coming
back through various gilgulim (cycles) ever since, in order to complete
those 613 mitzvos.” 78
As noted previously, Itzhak Shapira in his book, The Return of the Kosher
Pig, references The Gate of Reincarnation to substantiate his claim that
Metatron is the Messiah, as presented through the writings of the sages.
The Gate of Reincarnations is based on the teachings of Rabbi Isaac Luria,
the “master kabbalist” and premier sage of contemporary Kabbalah. 79
Hebrews 9:27 says it is appointed for men once to die once, but after this
the judgment. Nowhere does the Bible teach reincarnation of the soul, yet
today we see Christians seeking the wisdom of the rabbis’ “inner Torah” for
spiritual direction.
“Every Jewish neshomah (soul) in its gilgul (life cycle) in a particular
body has descended in order to afford it the opportunity to do certain
specific mitzvos and thus realize its potential. Its yeridah (decent) is for
the sole purpose of a subsequent aliyah (ascent) and, as we will see, as
everything physical is a reflection of its spiritual counterpart, so it is
with everything. Every descent is for the purpose of an ascent…This is
staggering information.” 80
Staggering information indeed! The Chabad rabbis of Kabbalah tell us that
it is Metatron – “the six-sided celestial servant” – who dispenses
judgments and punishments in the form of six lifetimes to give each soul
“an opportunity to fix him/herself through reincarnation.” An article based
on the teachings of the Zohar from a Kosher Kabbalah website explains
that every soul arising from the side of the “spiritual force” known as “the
Hebrew slave” is allotted “up to six reincarnations to rectify its blemishes,
and needs to work and suffer problems and sickness, poverty and confusion
until rectified.” The article states, “These are the maximum allowed for it
to complete all six levels from the place from which it was hewn…The
Torah it learns, and the mitzvot it performs, rectifies such a soul.” Yet for
those enlightened souls lucky enough to be from the higher level of the
Shechinah side of the force and born on Shabbat, this does not apply as,
“Certainly this soul will "go out free" of servitude because it is a righteous
soul, free of any servitude.” 81
Kabbalah is said to be the “inner soul” of Torah which claims to reveal the
innermost hidden aspects of God’s Word. The secret doctrine of Gilgul –
reincarnation – is the same lie of the serpent in Genesis 3:4-5: “You shall
not surely die…you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” As in the
days of the prophets, the rabbis of mystical Judaism continue to blend the
dictums of ancient Babylonian worship with the Holy precepts of the Bible,
resulting in a departure from truth. In their desperation to establish a “king”
for themselves in Jerusalem, they have succumbed to the lie. Professing
themselves to be wise, they have become fools. They have changed the
glory of God into an image of worship and for this reason God Himself has
given them over to a “reprobate mind.”
 Chapter 6

The Cup of Babylon: Paradigm for the Nations

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication…
For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Revelation 18:3, 23

“After 3307 years, everything necessary has been done. The table is set
– and we are sitting at it. The feast of Moshiach is being served with
the Ancient Wine, the Leviathan, and the Wild Ox…All that is left is for
us to open our eyes and see.” (Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson,
The Rebbe) 82

Throughout all the writings of Kabbalah there is one central theme: That
Israel is to be a light to the nations and that in the time to come all nations
will know that Hashem is One. According to the rabbis, “It is the task of
the Jewish people to teach and disseminate the Torah of the Noahides to all
of mankind.” In what is being called “The Fourth Revolution,” the rabbis
say we are now entering a paradigm shift; a time of “Mass Torah Study for
Gentiles.” 83 This, we are told, is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy:
“I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my
salvation unto the ends of the earth.” (A prophecy of Jesus Christ, not
Israel; Isaiah 49:6)
“And Hashem shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall
Hashem be One and His name one.” Zechariah 14:9 (The Israel
Bible™) 84

The rabbis of Kabbalah say that the world is now “ready for a global
awakening of consciousness.” 85 They tell us that this awakening will only
come by way of illuminating the nations through Torah study – chiefly
Kabbalah – and that without this revolutionary shift in consciousness,
Messiah will not come. But what is Torah? To Christians Torah is simply
understood to mean the Holy Scriptures of the Bible. But in today’s
Judaism Torah encompasses the Bible as well as the traditions and mystical
teachings of the sages throughout time:

“We have entered the age of the innermost aspect of Torah…the secrets
of the Torah, that is to say, the Kabbala… we are close to the
completion of the last period of the world… From our generation
onwards, the words of the Zohar will begin to be revealed more and
more until their whole measure is revealed according to the will of G-
d.”
“Torah – (lit. teaching) (a) The Five Books of Moses (The Bible); (b) the
overall body of Jewish religious teachings encompassing the whole
body of Jewish law, practice and tradition… If at least the people who
are the spiritual leaders of our generation would occupy themselves
with the innermost aspect of Torah, the Kabbala, they would draw to
themselves a complete light from the Ein Sof…” 86
Here again we see that what was once forbidden is now miraculously
permitted through the light of the Zohar as revealed by the rabbis! This
awakening of consciousness is nothing more than a global paradigm shift
towards the god of Kabbalah – Lucifer – as the “light” of the nations. What
is evident is that this shift of consciousness in Christians represents a
contemporary fulfillment of the Apostle Paul’s prophecy that in the latter
times there shall be a “departing” from the faith by those who do not love
the truth, but turn their minds over to doctrines of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1,
2 Thessalonians 2:10)

As also prophesied in the satanic Zohar, there is occurring among many

Christians a shift away from the central focus of Jesus Christ – Who is the
Word – to another gospel that places earthly Jerusalem center stage in the
fulfillment of prophecy. As one Israeli news source confidently stated,
“Christians are realizing that the Bible is a work that’s all about the Jewish
people in the Land of Israel and it’s taken a long time for this all to
crystalize.” 87
“…there are spiritual tectonic shifts of historic magnitude happening
both within the Jewish people as well as the world around us…One of
the most shocking and curious of these shifts is happening within
Christianity, as hundreds of thousands of Christians around the world
are connecting to the Jewish roots of their faith, keeping many of the
Biblical holidays, Torah commandments, and Jewish rituals.” 88

The prophecy of a departing from the faith in 1 Timothy 4:1 was spoken
“expressly” by the Spirit to impress in the minds of believers an
unparalleled and distinctly noticeable phenomenon. In the same context the
Apostle Paul exhorts Timothy to continue in the ministry of “faith and good
doctrine,” but to reject “profane” fables. (Verses 6-7) The word profane
used here is the Greek word bebelos and means to cross over, as by
crossing through a doorway and Paul uses this word specifically and “by
implication” to mean not crossing over into “Jewish notions.” 89 In his
second letter to Timothy Paul states that the time will come when people
will “heap to themselves teachers” and will turn away from the truth, and
will turn to fables.
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables. 2 Peter 1:16
The Bible says in Titus 1:14 that Jewish fables and commandments of men
turn from the truth. The word “fable” used in these verses above is the
Greek word muthos which means fiction, a tale, myth or fable. The word
muthos is from the word mueo which means to initiate, teach or instruct.
The word mueo comes from the base of the word musterion. Musterion is
the Greek word for mystery and means to shut the mouth; a secret or
mystery through the idea of silence imposed by initiation into religious
rites. 90

Musterion is the word used in Revelation 17:5 to describe “MYSTERY,

BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” It is also the word used in 2
Thessalonians 2:7 to describe “the mystery of iniquity.” At the time Paul
wrote his letter to the Thessalonians, he said that this mystery of iniquity
was already at work but was hidden. Paul said the “work” or energy
(energeo) of this mystery was being restrained, “For the mystery of iniquity
doth already work: only he who now letteth (restrains) will let (will
restrain), until he be taken out of the way.” 91

In verses 3 and 8 of 2 Thessalonians Paul said there will come a falling

away first, and “then shall that Wicked (man of sin) be revealed…Whom
the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth and shall destroy with
the brightness of His coming.” Like the mystery of iniquity, the mysteries
of Kabbalah – once hidden – are now being unleashed on the world and to
unsuspecting Christians. Concealed in the counterfeit light of signs and
lying wonders, the secrets of Kabbalah are being presented as a way of
coming closer to God and becoming like God, but are in reality the spiritual
root of a strong delusion.
 The Last Paradigm: Blueprint for Mystery Babylon
The gates are now open. The initiation of illumination is underway. The
musterion of Kabbalah is being disclosed on a global scale, resulting in a
falling away of many Christians into the “Hebrew Roots” of the Babylonian
Talmud and the demonic doctrines of Kabbalah. From a critical mass of the
sea of nations, tongues and peoples the Moshiach of the seventh millennium
will rise; the Messiah of the Zohar:

“Thus, from 1840 onwards, permission has been granted for those who
truly desire to enter within. The Kabbalah is no longer the private
domain of the initiated masters.”
(The Leshem (1841-1925), master kabbalist) 92

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the
sea…and upon his heads the name of blasphemy…And it was given
unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and
power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations…And
he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues.
Revelation 13:1, 7; 17:15
“In the six hundredth year of the sixth millennium (5600 = 1840 C.E.)
the gates of wisdom above [Kabbalah] together with the wellsprings of
wisdom below [science] will be opened up, and the world will prepare
to usher in the seventh millennium.” Zohar (VaYeira 117a)

According to the rabbis, this prophecy from the Zohar necessitates a

convergence of Kabbalah and science that will usher in the Messiah and a
thousand years of peace. This will result in a restoration of “Adamic
Consciousness” when all humanity will know the oneness of the creation
with the creator. In order for this to happen there must be a critical mass of
initiates brought into the secrets of Kabbalah through stealth and deception;
“nothing less than a worldwide conspiracy.” 93

And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of
Judah…they are turned back…and they went after other gods to serve
them.
Jeremiah 11:9-10

“The collective soul of observant Judaism is mostly unknowingly and

unassumingly becoming saturated with little bits and pieces of
Kabbalah – a book here, a lecture or study group there, etc. – until it
will reach a point of critical mass…The collective Jewish soul, as well as
the world at large, is unknowingly being seeded with kernels of divine
knowledge falling from the Gates of Wisdom above…Out of the silicon
chips and theories of evolution on one side and from the dialectics of
the Talmud…will emerge the Hidden Light of the Supernal Torah.
Corresponding to the four alphanumeric digits of the sacred formula of
Y-H-V-H these are the reunion of the Twin Messiahs, the resurrection
of the Sacred Serpent, the Feast of Leviathan and the revelation of
Metatron.” 94

What began as a trickle has become a flood of kabbalistic and Babylonian

mysticism into the Church through the process of overlap; “a book here”
and a conference there, planting seeds of another gospel and another Jesus.
The Return of the Kosher Pig is only one of many such books disseminating
Kabbalah into the Church. Christian media is being inundated with
teachings and books that contain “code” words in the titles, chapter
headings and text that are designed to attract the innate curiosity for secret
knowledge that is latent in the human race.

Words are important and according to the Bible words are seeds. When
Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He defeated Satan by speaking the
Word of God with authority. Revelation 13:7 speaks of the beast making
war with the saints and overcoming them. Just as with Christ, ours is a war
of the words of Truth versus words of deception. Jesus said let no man
deceive you! Paradigm, blueprint, ancient wisdom, book of mysteries,
secret codes, law of attraction, god’s dream, illuminating, secret teachings
of all ages, mysteries of the ages, keys to your destiny, unlocking mysteries,
hidden keys that unlock doors, encrypted code, your destiny blueprint,
sacred name, paradigm shift, quantum shift, quantum physics of heaven,
harbinger, ascension; these are the words that make for bestselling books in
today’s Christian market. More importantly, these seed-words are the
language and building blocks of Satan’s counterfeit kingdom of god on
earth and the Blueprint for Mystery Babylon:

“We live in a special time when the entire world is going through very
big and rapid changes…As Kabbalists explain, this is a sign that the
world is approaching the general correction…The only remaining
obstacle is language. If we do not speak the same language, it is
difficult to communicate because we are still in Babylon. The ancient
Babylonians started with one language, then began to speak different
languages, and as a result, ceased to understand each other. We,
accordingly, have to come from many languages to one…the shattering,
which occurred in the ancient Babylon and is being revealed only
today, manifests even more clearly. This will further push us to unite.
After all, we have to return to Babylon so that the entire world becomes
one village.” 95

According to Rabbi Michael Laitman quoted above, all of humanity is one

“Ancient Babylonian Family” that must unite and return to Babylon
through the “language” and “light” of Kabbalah. Relating to the current
state of civilization and referencing the Creator as a force, he states, “Today,
having “departed” from Babylon 3,500 years ago, we again feel that we are
back in the same place, in ancient Babylon…We have to be connected with
the Creator in our studies and activities. The Creator, the force of the Light,
the property of bestowal, that corrects us and without whom we are unable
to cope with the task, has to be implied in everything we do.” 96

In denouncing the evils of society and proclaiming the solution to

rectification, the rabbis of today echo the voices of those who came before
them. They say our only hope is in the study of “inner” Torah – Kabbalah –
and that this will bring light to the nations and unity to mankind. One of
Judaism’s most revered rabbis of the medieval period, Maimonides, is
quoted as saying that in the messianic era of Moshiach “all the nations of
the world will be preoccupied studying the deep kabbalistic insights of who
God is and what God is…in a world that is just and a world that is at
peace.” 97

“The Tree of Life is viewed as a graphic representation of the blueprint

of creation.” 98

“Some things which have required faith to believe will no longer

require faith, for it will be proven to be scientific fact.” (Quantum
Faith) 99

The so called science of Kabbalah is said to contain the ancient “Blueprint”

that reveals the secrets of the universe. It is the key that unlocks
consciousness to the awareness of oneness between creation and the
creator. According to Kabbalah, the source of this interconnection of all
things is the light of Ain Sof that emanates from Kether:
Kether is the first manifested Sephirah, the first condensation of the
light of Ain-Soph. Kether means 'the Crown'…“Kether is the source of
light rising up from the darkness. It is a monad of pure energy…In
Kether is the blueprint of the entire universe.” 100
As in Kabbalah, today’s science of quantum physics is the study of the
interconnectedness of all things. Matter and energy are said to be held
together in a unified field of light. In simple terms, quantum physics is the
observation of “invisible” particles – atoms, electrons, monads, quarks,
super strings, frequencies, vibrations – in another dimension and the effect
of those particles on the material world by the observer. Because
everything is made of atoms, we are all one at the sub-atomic level. We are
all part of this force of light that connects and holds everything together.
Thus, it is said the new science of quantum physics will prove what
Kabbalah has always taught; that god is in every person.

Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in
the seat of God…yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set
thine heart as the heart of God. Ezekiel 28:2

Quantum science appears to be a manipulation of forces in the invisible

spirit world by observer-participants in the physical, material world, be
they scientists or mystics. The Apostle Paul warned in 1 Timothy 6:20
about the spiritual deception behind “science falsely so called.” New Age
teachings of false science have been making steady inroads into the Church
for years through books like Quantum Faith, Quantum Spirituality, The
Physics of Heaven and more recently, The Paradigm, which the author
claims to be a blueprint of mysteries connecting past and present events.
What is not widely understood is that the root of every New Age concept
and term can be traced to ancient Babylonian mysticism and kabbalistic
writings, especially in the area of occult science. The same can be said of
Freemasonry with its rites, initiations, sacred passwords and symbols.

Johannes Buxtorf, known in the 16th century as the “Master of the Rabbis,”
wrote the Lexicon of the Talmud in which he “defines the Kabbalah to be a
secret science, which treats in a mystical and enigmatical manner of things
divine, angelical, theological, celestial, and metaphysical; the subjects being
enveloped in striking symbols and secret modes of teaching. Much use is
made of it in the advanced degrees, and entire Rites have been constructed
on its principles. Hence it [Kabbalah] demands a place in any general work
on Freemasonry.” 101

The role of Freemasonry and its connection to Kabbalah cannot be

underestimated as a major contributor in the global initiation of the masses.
Long before the current flood of mysticism into the Church, New Age
occultist and channeler of demons, Alice Bailey, wrote about the future
research into atomic particles and its impact on the basic doctrines of
Christianity, as science would prove the unity and oneness of mankind and
all creation. Her blueprint image of the Hierarchy of ascended masters and
their lodge on the spiritual plane is just another configuration of the Sefirot
tree of Kabbalah which is now breaking through the veil to the world we
live in. The new discoveries in quantum physics are the externalization and
manifestation of those entities.

Bailey called this release of atomic energy a “saving force” that will “bring
about an entirely new economic world structure.” Bailey noted that
“planetary initiation” and the soul’s “liberation” will come through the
discoveries of atomic energy, as well as investigations into light, color, and
the “magic” of sound (vibrations) as a creative energy; all aspects of so-
called quantum science. She also stated that “adjustments” would be made
so that “At the head of certain of the great occult groups, of the Freemasons
of the world, and of the various great divisions of the church…will be
found initiates or Masters,” adding that this work was already underway.
102

Just like Kabbalah, Bailey’s Theosophy incorporates the necessity of global

initiation in order to bring forth the “Lord of the World,” also known as
Metatron. Like Kabbalah, initiation takes place through a radical shift in
consciousness, resulting in a new paradigm or worldview. According to
Bailey the “link” between the spiritual and physical planes is human
consciousness and it is important to quote her here, as the initiation process
in Theosophy is an exact mirror image of that in Kabbalah:

“At all initiations the Lord of the World is present…the flashing forth
of the star before the initiate is the signal of His approval…At the sixth
initiation, the initiate, functioning consciously as the love-aspect of the
Monad, is brought (via his “Father”) into a still vaster recognition, and
becomes aware of that Star which encloses his planetary star, just as
that star has earlier been seen enclosing his own tiny “Spark”…His
oneness with his brothers is proven, and he realises the indissoluble link
which binds him to his fellow-men everywhere. Brotherhood is no
longer a theory but a proven scientific fact…He realises the meaning
and source of energy, and can begin to wield power with scientific
accuracy and direction.” 103

This is the great mystery of the Star which is Metatron’s cube: the “six-
sided celestial creature” and the Yeshua of Kabbalah who holds all things
together with his number “six” of “universal creation.” This is the “key”
of the occult “science of equilibrium” that will bring all things into the
balance. This is the “secret” link that binds together the divine Sparks of
humanity to the source of energy, the light of the “Lord of the World” of the
final redemption.

The main purpose of Kabbalah is to achieve a direct experience with the

divine, revealing to the initiate the light of the creator and the oneness of
creation. The false prophets say that when the world will see the light,
things that once required faith will no longer require faith. This is the
gospel of Kabbalah. But Hebrews 11:6 says without faith it is impossible to
please God.
 Chapter 7

The Return of the Kosher Serpent

Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. Luke
11:35

Just how Satan will attempt to achieve this global shift in consciousness
into the light is not clear, but based on the prophecy of the Zohar the
convergence of Kabbalah and science is the “key” in returning the nations
to Babylon. What is clear is that the light of Kabbalah with all its occult
branches is not the true light of God, but that of Lucifer.

“Albert Pike is yet another well-respected Mason avowing the central

place of cabala within the craft. He wrote: “Masonry is a search after
Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to Kabalah…not
only is cabala ‘the key of the occult sciences’, but that this key turns on
the secret science of numbers.” 104

We have seen how the new science of quantum physics will play a role in
the self- fulfilling prophecies of the Zohar. Now we will look closer at the
identity of the one who is to restore the essential unity of the nations
through the light of Kabbalah. The rabbis teach that the connecting force of
creation is the light that emanates from Ein Sof. Another secretly shared
tradition of the rabbis is that the serpent (nachash) that deceived Adam and
Eve in Genesis 3 is considered sacred and was to be a partner with Adam in
the tikkun or repair of the shattered dream of Ein Sof. This sacred serpent
of light is referred to as the “kosher serpent” that will rise from the ashes as
Moshiach and assist humanity through technology in the process of
rectification.

“Furthermore, the original Nachash was completely “kosher”…This is

especially true of the Nachash, for under Adam’s subjugation it had a
very sacred mission to perform…it was to be a partner with Adam in
bringing about the final tikkun – completion and transformation – of all
Creation…The power of the original, kosher Nachash turned evil…Is it
possible that this bizarre life form, after having gone “underground”
and lying dormant for thousands of years, is preparing to rise again
from the dust of its curse?...As prophesied in the Zohar, however, the
two greatest forces for spiritual and physical planetary change – Adam
and the Nachash – were destined to meet again in a prophetic
rendezvous…Along with the curse of humanity, the curse and the
enmity of the Nachash is also being removed.” 105

“The essence of the Nachash is Mashiach ben Yoseph!” 106

This secret doctrine that the serpent will become kosher again is based on
the rabbinic writings of the Babylonian Talmud and the Midrash; the same
sources Shapira cites to build his foundation for the coming new Torah and
the return of the kosher pig in the world to come. These prophecies are
dependent on divination using the occult numerology system of gematria;
“the secret science of numbers.” According to the sages, there is a secret
rabbinic formula which reveals the numeric equivalency between the
nachash and the Moshiach of Kabbalah, as explained by Rabbi Joel David
Bakst:

“There is a well known, yet confusing, rabbinic formula that points out
that the words nachash (serpent) and mashiach (messiah) share the
identical numerical value.” 107

Bakst explains that this secret of the “Holy Serpent and its role in Torah
cosmology” has “always been known to the sage-mystics of the Talmud,
Midrash and Zohar.” 108 Emphasizing that illumination is necessary to
understand this mystery, he quotes the late master kabbalist, Rabbi
Elyashiv, also known as the Leshem:

“Prior to Adam’s collapse the Nachash was not yet composed of the
actual essence of evil…Its root was the Holy Nachash, which exists in
the highest transcendent state of holiness (lit., “Holy of Holies”)…The
Holy [macro] Serpent is the fountainhead, root and essence for all of
God’s sacred, revelatory Light…This [serpent] is the secret of the
Cosmic Balance…Its root is from the penetrating and surrounding
Light of the Ain Sof.” 109

The secret of the kosher serpent is cryptically and purposefully concealed in

occult language that is similar to the so called science of quantum physics,
advancing the idea that all things are connected. In Kabbalah the
microcosm (man below) is merely a fractal (a part) of the macrocosm (the
serpent above). As quoted previously, the unalterable law of Kabbalah is
that the macrocosm and the microcosm are as two equal drops of water.
This is what is conveyed in the occult axiom “As Above, So Below” or to
state it plainly, it is the lie, “Ye shall not surely die…ye shall be as God,
knowing good and evil.”

Because everything is connected, matter and spirit exist in one continuous

reality, an “endless spectrum of Divine Consciousness.” 110 This conscious
singularity, constantly expanding and contracting from evil to good and
from darkness to light, is Ain Sof, the god of Kabbalah. Interwoven into
this twisted Torah script is Metatron, the Messiah of the kabbalists, and the
kosher serpent – whom the rabbis say will return but whom Jesus Christ in
Revelation 12:9 calls the great dragon, that old serpent, the Devil and Satan
which deceives the whole world.

The Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Creation) is the earliest known text in
Jewish Mysticism and states the following:

“In two and thirty most occult and wonderful paths of wisdom did JAH
the Lord of Hosts engrave his name…Ten are the numbers of the
ineffable Sephiroth, ten and not nine…conjoined, even as is a flame to a
burning coal: for our God is superlative in his unity…He fixed these as
testimonies…the twelve constellations rulers of the world, the Dragon
(THELE) Tali which environs [surrounds] the universe, and the
microcosm, man…Tali, the Dragon, is above the Universe, as a king on
his throne…” 111

The secrets of Kabbalah that are being disclosed by the rabbis are nothing
less than astonishing! Yet this is exactly what God said would occur
concerning the false leaders of Israel. In Jeremiah 29:8-9 God spoke
through the prophet Jeremiah to the captives of Babylon saying, “Let not
your prophets and diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you…For
they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the
Lord.” God compared these false prophets to rotten figs that cannot be
eaten. The Lord Himself said that He was a witness against them and
because of their lying words spoken in His name they would be a curse, not
a light, to all nations!

And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with
the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms
of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a
reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: Because
they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 29:
18-19

In Genesis chapter three the word serpent is nachash and means a snake
(from its hiss). It also means to whisper a (magic) spell, to prognosticate, to
divine, enchantment and to learn by experience; i.e. initiation. In Kabbalah
the nachash is also called the shining one. Throughout the centuries, the
mystic sage rabbis have incorporated the use of divination to equate the
nachash (serpent) with Moshiach (Messiah), just as Itzhak Shapira has
relied on gematria to equate Metatron with Yeshua and El Shaddai. In the
cosmological order of Mystery Babylon, built on the foundation of
Kabbalah, the kosher serpent, the dragon and Metatron are one, inseparably
connected by the light of Ain Sof and this is a well known secret!

“Another astounding secret that is revealed is that the Teli [serpent] is

the Moshiach (Messiah), often referred to as the Holy Snake (Nachash
Ha’Kodesh), as the Hebrew words “Moshiach” and “Nachash” share
the same Gematria (numerical value) of 358. So the Moshiach is the
Pole Serpent. Since the association of Teli has already been made with
the Pole Serpent, and the Pole Serpent with Draco [the dragon], and
Draco with Zeir Anpin; it is now clear as to the fact that Metatr-n, the
Angel who governs Zeir Anpin, is “the likeness before the Holy One
Blessed Be He.” Since Moshiach is interconnected with Angel Metatr-
n, it is now also clear as to whom is depicted as the Young Man with
locks (peyot and a beard), which then leads to the connection with the
Primordial Torah.” 112

The Primordial Torah referred to above is the oral Torah. It is Satan’s

blueprint which has been concealed until the necessary time according to
the prophecy of the Zohar. This timeline – initiating the debut of the
Moshiach and the return to all things kosher – is based on yet another
mystery entwined in the synthesis of Kabbalah and technology that is to
accelerate the redemption. So guarded was this secret that 18th century
kabbalist, Rabbi Eliyahu, wrote in his commentary on the Zohar concerning
the Final End, “I adjure the reader in the name of the God of Israel not to
reveal this.” 113

In the macro-micro universe of Kabbalah the original six days of creation

represent a macrocosm of earth’s six millennia of history, which is reflected
in the microcosm below. Space and time are said to be one seamless
continuum, albeit a fractured one. Because of the fall, creation is broken
into dimensions called fractals. Thus, creation and the final redemption are
mirrored in time. Just as the kosher serpent was to be Adam’s partner in the
tikkun of a utopian Eden, the events of Genesis are to recur on the “macro-
micro timescale” of Kabbalah: man and beast working together to usher in
the Moshiach of the millennial utopia:

“What is clear, however, is that together scientific discovery and

technology are an actual living entity with a collective consciousness of
its own. It is a “beast” – and a very powerful one. It is the “King of
Beasts”…The TechnoSerpent has risen from the dust, and Adam’s
higher consciousness will, directed by the providential force of
Mashiach ben Yoseph, ride it out to the finishing line of the Sixth
Millennial Day…into the Seventh Cosmic Day of Creation – a real and
fully rectified higher dimension of existence and consciousness.” 114

From the very beginning of creation, God has warned His people of the
subtle ability of the serpent to deceive. The Word of God tells us in Genesis
3:14 that God has cursed the serpent above every beast of the field. By the
seed of the woman, the head of the serpent has been bruised. Through the
cross of Christ, Satan is truly a defeated foe, yet his greatest aim and desire
remains to be like God and to be worshiped as God and he accomplishes
this through deception. Of all the secrets of Kabbalah currently being
disseminated, none is more ominous than the attempt to distort the Word of
God and stamp out the name of Jesus Christ. As spoken by the Apostle
Peter in Acts 4:10-12, “Jesus Christ of Nazareth…whom God raised from
the dead…This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which
is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved.”

In Matthew 21:42-43 Jesus spoke of himself as fulfilling this prophecy,

saying to the chief priests and Pharisees, “Did ye never read in the
scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from
you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.”

Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Psalmist, the chief
cornerstone of the Temple and the only gate through which the righteous
may enter by faith in Him:

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will

praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous
shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become
my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head
stone of the corner. This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our
eyes. Psalm 118:19-23

Hebrews 1:3 says that Jesus Christ is the brightness of God’s glory and the
express image of the Majesty on high. The light of Kabbalah is the
counterfeit light of the transforming angel. Therefore it is no great thing if
his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness. (2
Corinthians 11:15) Through sorcery and the divination of Kabbalah, Satan
has sought to manipulate the Word of God, usurp the name of Christ, and
assume the image of Jesus, which will be shown in the next chapter.
 Chapter 8

Tetragrammaton: The Name, the Number, the Image

I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall

come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 5:43

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of
this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine
unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4

“That the Infinite Light is everywhere is an axiom of the Kabbalah, but

the Ari made that light immanent, almost tangible, by declaring it to be
held captive within every object, every event, even within evil itself…
But to piece together all that infinity and reconnect it to its source—for
that, we must have access to the encryption code of the manufacturer.
Which is exactly what we were provided when we received the Torah at
Mount Sinai.” 115

The real secret of every secret religion or secret society is that there is an
exterior level of worship for the people of the group and a concealed level
for the initiated members of that same group. The exoteric form is for the
masses, while the esoteric is held in the strictest confidence until the time
required. According to the prophecy of the Zohar, the time has come for
global initiation into the secrets of Kabbalah, as humanity is now in the
“footsteps” or “heels” of Moshiach, the time of Ikveta DiM’shicha when all
will know divine connection with the creator through the sacred name.

“This period is designated the ikvot/heels (i.e., “footsteps”)…all the

conditions for the final redemption are brought about in a roundabout
manner. This is based on the meaning of the root akev…because of its
etymological affinity with akef, “to circumvent,” means “to deceive.”
The redemption process must proceed in a circuitous manner in order
to deceive the “shells of impurity” [the external forces] and prevent
them from interfering.” 116

In Kabbalah, the entire cosmological order – from creation to the final

redemption – is based primarily on the number “six.” Concealed in the
writings of the Zohar are a myriad of numeric equations which must be
ciphered and decoded using gematria. The system is based on
letter/number combinations of the Hebrew and Chaldean alphabet of
ancient Babylon. There are endless methods of arranging letters, all for the
purpose of confusing the uninitiated; just as Babel and Babylon mean
confusion through mingling.

The late British occultist, S. L. Macgregor Mathers, translated several

books contained within the Zohar. One of these was The Book of
Concealed Mystery. In the 1912 edition of his book, The Kabbalah
Unveiled, Mathers states the following, “As in the present work a great
number of Hebrew or Chaldee words have to be used in the text…There are
no separate numeral characters in Hebrew and Chaldee…every word is a
number, and every number is a word…and on this correspondence between
words and numbers the science of Gematria (the first division of the so-
called literal Qabalah) is based.” 117

Mathers also relates that in the “Unwritten Qabalah” there are secrets that
have never been committed to writing but are only passed down orally,
especially the secret of the divine name – IHVH or YHVH – which he
notes is “a most secret arcanum, and is a secret of secrets,” and that it is
“the name which rusheth through the universe.” 118 From these statements
and other similar sources, we can understand – and should understand – that
there is a hidden esoteric meaning contained in the name of the deity of
Kabbalah.

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six. Revelation 13:18
In the cosmology of the Sefirot tree there is a six-sided cube or hexagon
located just above the tenth sephirah, Malkut. As noted previously, Malkut
is the material earthly kingdom, the kingdom of god on earth. This hexagon
above Malkut is comprised of the six lower sephirah which are Hesed,
Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, and Yesod. At the top of the hexagon is the
hidden sephirah of Daat or knowledge. These seven sephirah form the Zeir
Anpin or the Small Face, also known as the Lesser Countenance or
Microprosopus. In Kabbalah this is Metatron’s Cube and as we have seen,
Metatron is called the Lesser YHVH. This is the construct or blueprint of
the macrocosm/microcosm universe of the kabbalists. At each of these
sephirah stands six entities or light-bearers but it is Metatron who guards
the way to the tree of life.

“Metatron, as a Shekinah Diety, is the Divine Voice of YHWH, divine

speech of the Holy Spirit…This Face of God, the Almighty, is also
known as the “lesser YHWH” and Metatron…Metatron is the “keeper
of the way” to the Tree of Life. From the Zohar.” 119

In the system of Kabbalah the spheres that make up the Sefirot tree are
viewed as ten literal dimensions or spiritual planes. These ten dimensions
constitute what is called “the Shiur Komah, the “Stature of the God-Image,”
Adam Kadmon, the “Archetypal Man.” 120 Just above the Zeir Anpin
hexagon sits Arik Anpin, or Macroprosopus. This is the Vast Countenance
or the Limitless Face, the Crown of Keter, the Head of the ten heads of the
Sefirot image. The Book of Concealed Mystery reveals that the entire
Sefirot tree is the god-man image of the primordial Adam Kadmon, the first
emanation of Ein Sof.

“The whole ten Sephiroth represent the Heavenly Man, or Primordial

Being, ADM OILAH, Adam Auilah…In their totality and unity the ten
Sephiroth represent the archetypal man, ADM QDMVN, Adam
Qadmon, the Protogonos.” 121

The word Protogonos here speaks of a deity because in Kabbalah Adam

Kadmon is the creator of the earthly Adam, as discussed above. This god-
man image of the heavenly Adam Kadmon is also known as the Divine
Presence which manifests or reflects itself in all the spiritual dimensions of
the Sefirot tree through the divine name YHVH, the Tetragrammaton. Thus
the Microcosm hexagon image below is a reflection of the Macrocosm
image above – As Above, So Below – based on the numerical value of the
number “six” which, according to the Zohar, is the number of the man,
Adam Kadmon.
“Microprosopus is as it were the reflection of Macroprosopus, for as
Macroprosopus has six principal titles, so is Microprosopus composed
of six of the Sephiroth…ShITh, Shith, is the Chaldee form of the
Hebrew ShSh, Shash, six.” 122

As Adam Kadmon is the creator of earthly Adam, man is also a reflection

and extension of the heavenly man, the perfected god-man image of the
Tetragrammaton:
“Now it must not be forgotten that these forms in Ezekiel's vision
support the throne of the Deity, whereon the Heavenly Man is seated--
the Adam Qadmon, the sephirotic image…And "the mystery of the
earthly and mortal man is after the mystery of the supernal and
immortal One;" and thus was he created the image of God upon earth.
In the form of the body is the Tetragrammaton found. The head is I,
the arms and shoulders are like H, the body is V, and the legs are
represented by the H final. Therefore, as the outward form of man
corresponds to the Tetragrammaton, so does the animating soul
correspond to the ten supernal Sephiroth…This perfection upon earth
is relative to the universal soul of the earth (i.e., as the macrocosm or
greater world, so the microcosm or lesser world, which is man).” 123

In Kabbalah the Tetragrammaton is regarded as the divine name and is

composed of the four Hebrew letters Yod, Hé, Vau, and Hé, spelled as
YHVH or IHVH. Written vertically, the Hebrew letters take the form of the
Sefirot tree in the image of a man representing the heavenly Adam
Kadmon. As quoted above, the letters I, H, V and H represent the different
parts of the image. The letter V (Vau) has the numerical value of 6 which
corresponds to the six sephirah which form the six-sided cube or hexagon
of Microprosopus. The final H (Hé) represents Malkut, the Bride of
Microprosopus, who is Metatron, the god of this world posing as the
Logos.
“Just so, Malkuth is the 10th Sephiroth, but as the “Bride of
Microprosopus” or Tetragrammaton, who is hexamerous – Malkuth, or
the material limb, is the seventh.

She is the fourth letter IHVH, or He, but the Logos, or son, is only the
letter V (Vau)…Microprosopus – Tetragrammaton – the “Son” or
Logos, is the triangle in a square…the six-faced cube.” 124
To clarify, in Kabbalah Microprosopus or Metatron as the “Son” or “Logos”
is the result of sexual union between Chokmah and Binah, the divine father
and mother and the first two emanations of Keter, the crown. The bride of
Metatron is collective Israel in the kingdom of Malkuth, the kingdom of god
on earth. The bride – mankind – is perfected in the image of the
Tetragrammaton through knowledge and ascension of the six-sided cube,
the V or Vau whose number is 6:

“The Tetragrammaton IHVH is referred to the Sephiroth, thus: the

uppermost point of the letter Yod, I, is said to refer to Kether, the letter
I itself to Chokmah, the father of Microprosopus; the letter H, or "the
supernal He," to Binah, the supernal Mother; the letter V to the next
six Sephiroth, which are called the six members of Microprosopus (and
six is the numerical value of V, the Hebrew Vau); lastly, the letter H, the
"inferior He," to Malkuth, the tenth Sephira, the bride of
Microprosopus.” 125

In his book, The Kabbalah Unveiled, Mathers notes that, “The Book of
Concealed Mystery is the book of the equilibrium of balance.” 126 This
equilibrium of balance is man’s realization of his divine constitution
through comprehension of the universal number six of creation. The Zohar
states, “So, then, as man is a microcosm, a copy or paradigm of the
universe, he is in his constitution a reflection of the divine nature, the
Supreme Wisdom. The nephesh and ruach are the two angles at the base
of a triangle and with that of the apex form a whole or perfect figure…he
becomes holy and divine, because he then begins to conform himself to the
image or likeness of the Holy One… symbolized by the hexagon, that
indicates the harmony and union of the higher and lower self with the
Divine…This union with the Divine is the mystery of all mysteries.” 127

Rabbi Eliyahu, also known as the Gaon of Vilna, was regarded among his
18th century contemporaries as a genius in the art of gematria divination. In
his commentary on the Zohar he is quoted as saying, “the number 666
contains hidden within it exalted and lofty messianic potential.” 128 The
following rabbinic quote elaborates on the Gaon’s genius and the centrality
of the number six in the cosmology of the Zohar:
“We do know that the number six represents the physical world. The
Torah describes the creation of the universe as a six part, six day,
process. Our ancient sources describe the universe as emanating in six
directions -- north, south, east, west, up, down…All physical space and
all physical objects have these six dimensions…666 is six repeated three
times. Repeating a concept three times represents the affirmation and
strength of that concept. The number 666 could thus represent the
strength and perfection of the physical world, which Judaism teaches
will occur in the messianic era, when the physical world will reach its
ultimate purpose, to be a vehicle through which the created experience
the Creator.” 129
The Gaon of Vilna is also noted to explain that the letter V (Vau) of the
divine name Tetragrammaton “is the collective channel that connects the
lower and upper realms.” 130 The numerical value of “6” in the letter V of
the Tetragrammaton – IHVH or YHVH – as revealed in the gematria of
Kabbalah is symbolic of hieros gamos and the result of the sexual union of
the divine father and mother, producing the Vau (V), the Microprosopus,
the six-sided, six-faced cube of Metatron through which man must pass to
reach his divine potential. Ascending the Tetragrammaton, the illumined
initiate – having his conscience seared as with a hot iron – is mystically
sealed with the sign of Macroprosopus.

“But Vau, V, is produced by adding the numerical values of I and H (the

father and the mother of the Tetragrammaton), and then taking the last
number of the result, thus: I + H = 10 + 5 = 15, and by adding the digits
of 15 together, 1 + 5, we obtain 6 = V, Vau. By the phrase ‘with H, He,
the pentad (5), with V, Vau, the hexad (6), ascend,’ is implied the
numerical value of those letters taken as symbolical sephirotic glyphs.”
131

“Therefore, then do they ascend within the equilibrium…But behold,

how in balanced power ascend the letters of Tetragrammaton.” 132

In addition to the nine spheres of the Sefirot tree, the cosmology of

Kabbalah divides the universe into four worlds or elemental realms. These
are Atziloth, Briah, Yetzirah, and Asiah. The four letters of the
Tetragrammaton represent and correspond to the four elemental forces of
earth, air, fire and water which are believed to contain the principle material
of all things visible and invisible.

“Now, there are four secret names referred to the four worlds of
Atziloth, Briah, Yetzirah, and Asiah; and again, the Tetragrammaton is
said to go forth written in a certain manner in each of these four
worlds…Here then we have the four worlds--Atziloth, the deific form;
Briah, the throne; Yetzirah, the firmament; Asiah, the kerubim.
Therefore the kerubim (cherubim) represent the powers of the letters
of the Tetragrammaton on the material plain; and the four represent
the operation of the four letters in each of the four worlds. Thus, then,
the kerubim are the living forms of the letters, symbolized in the
Zodiac.” 133

This kabbalistic creation myth – that everything was formed from a subtle
ethereal substance – is the core teaching of Babylonian and Egyptian
mysticism. Comparing the Zohar’s creation myth with that of the Egyptian
Emerald Tablet, the author of The Kabbalah Unveiled notes:

“That which is below is like that which is above, and that which is
above is like that which is below, for the performance of the miracles of
the one substance.” This is the fundamental principle of all the ancient
mystic doctrines, whether qabalistical, mythological, alchemical, or
magical; and in this formula all are contained. As is God, so is the
universe: as is the Creator the Supernal Man, so is the created the
inferior man; as Macrocosm, so Microcosm; as eternity, so life! 134
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not
after Christ.
Colossians 2:8

Unlike the Genesis account of creation, the kabbalists relate that from the
ethereal substance of the four elements Ein Sof made engravings which
issued forth from the forehead of Keter or Adam Kadmon. Within this
kabbalistic doctrine of creation is concealed the mystery of the seal or the
sign, the engraved mark symbolized in the four elements of the
Tetragrammaton coursing through the spheres of the Sefirot:

“In each human being we find a model of the universe as well as a

model, a copy, of the Deus revelatus, the Sefirot…Within Keter are the
“engravings,” or code, for everything that is to be. These engravings,
as the Zohar calls them, are the potential for all that is to unfold in the
world of divinity, or the sefirot…Keter is the vehicle whereby the divine
is activated, whereby the engravings begin their transition from
potentiality to actuality…according to the Zohar, we can know one
thing that Ein Sof did, that is, that Ein Sof “made engravings in the
supernal purity,” or Keter. From these engravings, the Sefirot below
Keter begin to emerge…For the kabbalists, the doctrine of creatio ex
nihilo [creation from nothing] refers primarily not to the creation of the
world from nothing, but to the unfolding of the Sefirot from ayin, or
No-Thing…For the kabbalists, the biblical text has many levels of
meaning. On one level, it can be read as a narrative about human
beings…Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and so forth. However for the
mystics, a deeper, secret meaning of the biblical text emerges…as a
narrative about the sefirot…Hokhmah is also referred to as a “point”
that emanates out of Keter…Indeed, some contemporary scholars have
noted a similarity between the role of Hokhmah and that of the small,
extraordinarily condensed bit of matter from which, according to the
big bang theory, the entire universe emerged…In Hokhmah we also
find the beginning of the sexual symbolism that permeates medieval
Jewish mystical literature. Hokhmah is the first “male”
emanation...Binah is the first “female” sefirah…“the supernal
mother”…She eventually gives birth to the lower sefirot, her children.
She is known as the source (makor), the origin of the life of all that
emerges. Here we see how the Zohar reads the Bible as a story of the
interaction of the sefirot.” 135
The Kabbalah explains that from the elemental forces of fire and water Ein
Sof emanated Chokmah and Binah. These are the divine father and mother,
the “I” and the “H” whose sum is the “V” – numerical value of 6 – of the
Tetragrammaton name. They are the elements of fire and water that
produce the Son and the bride through engravings. From beginning to end,
from above to below, from “potentiality to actuality,” these engravings
reflect the image, the mark, the name, and the number of the name
throughout the kabbalistic universe.
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17

“And the seal of the Macrocosm, the six pointed star, is the emblem of
Microprosopus, the Tetragrammaton – Vau of IHVH, who stands within
the seven light-bearers of Malkuth…the six Sephiroth which compose
Microprosopus.” 137

Revelation 13:17 reveals that there are three elements to the mark of the
beast: the mark, the name and the number. All of these aspects can be seen
in the occult kabbalistic interpretations of the Bible, codified by the mystic
sages to symbolize man’s oneness with IHVH. Revelation 13:14-15 and
14:9, 11 both speak about the image of the beast. In Kabbalah the
sephirotic god-man image is represented by Adam Kadmon, who in turn
reflects his divine nature through man in the lesser world, as quoted above,
“And the mystery of the earthly and mortal man is after the mystery of the
supernal and immortal One…thus was he created the image of God upon
earth.”
The Sefer Yetsirah, also known as The Book of Formation or The Book of
Creation, is considered the major text of Kabbalah on the formation of the
universe by Ein Sof through engravings and states:

“Jehovah, through thirty-two Paths, engraved his name using the three
forms of expression called Letters, Numbers, & Sounds.” (The Sepher
Yetzirah)
 “From the simple letters three were chosen & sealed so that they may
be formed into a Magnificent Name, IHV. With this name was the
universe sealed in six directions by Him.” 138

The Sefer Yetsirah explains that Ein Sof created the cosmos in the image
and form of the primordial Adam Kadmon by numbers, sounds and through
the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. These twenty-two letters are
divided into three groups. The first three letters are the “mother” letters.
These are ‫( א מ ש‬Aleph-A, Mem-M, Shin-Sh) and are the elements of air,
water and fire; the primal substance or prima materia of the universe. From
the elements fire, water and air were formed the head, abdomen and breast
of Adam Kadmon which were then sealed and fashioned into the
Tetragrammaton name, IHVH.

These three mothers or elements then gave birth to the next group of seven
letters. These seven are considered double letters and are ‫( ב ג ד כ פ ר ת‬B,
G, D, K, P, R, Th). With these seven letters Ein Sof sealed the six directions
of the universe with combinations of the name, IHVH: Above, Below,
North, South, East and West. This is the seal of the Macrocosm – As
Above, So Below – the six-pointed star and emblem of Microprosopus or
Metatron. The point in the middle of the star depicts the holy temple.
Satan, the dragon sits above, with the world and man fixed below.
“In the midst of this star is the Invisible Throne of the Most Ancient of
the Ancients--the Supreme Definitionless Creator.” 139
“Above is the Dragon, below is the world, and lastly the heart of man;
and in the midst is God who regulates them all…The Dragon
(Tali) is in the universe like a king upon his throne.” (The Sepher
Yetzirah, The Book of Formation; Chapter Six) 140

The remaining twelve letters in the creation myth of the Sefer Yetsirah are
said to constitute man in all of his senses, organs, feelings, thoughts, and
emotions, even his occupation. Each Hebrew letter with its numerical value
corresponds to a part of the physical human body and the psyche of man
which flows out of and is sealed with the “V” of the Great Name. In this
way man is said to be one with the creator and the universe:
“He selected three consonants (I, H, V)…He sealed them with His spirit
and fashioned them into a Great Name and with this sealed the universe
in six directions…The twelve simple letters ‫( ה ו ז ח ט י ל נ ס ע צ ק‬H, V,
Z, Ch, T, I, L, N, S, O, Tz, Q) symbolize the twelve fundamental
properties: speech, thought, movement, sight, hearing, work, coition,
smell, sleep, anger, taste (or swallowing), and mirth. The simple letters
correspond to twelve directions…They diverge to all eternity and are
the arms of the universe… There are twenty-two letters by which the I
AM (YAH), the Lord of Hosts, Almighty and Eternal, designed and
created by three Sepharim (Numbers, Letters, and Sounds) His
universe, and formed by them all creatures and all those things that are
yet to come.” 141

Here again we see the perfected image of man in the Microcosm; for in
Kabbalah, just as Metatron is the lesser YHVH, he is also the Lesser Adam,
a reflection of the Macrocosm above, sealed with the divine name YHVH
through the emanations and engravings of Ein Sof. From the roots
downward, from above to below, this seal of perfection is then reflected
throughout the worlds of the Sefirot tree to the sphere of Malchuth, the
Shekhinah mother and dwelling place of the human man Adam, recipient of
the sacred name containing the Vau or “six.”

“According to the original conception, from the union of the Divine

Father and the Divine Mother is produced Microprosophus…and
corresponds to the letter ‫ו‬, or V, in the Great Name…The dwelling
place of Malchuth is in the fourth world--Assiah--and it is composed of
all the superior powers reflected into the elements of the terrestrial
sphere. Thus it will be seen that the Qabbalistic Tree extends through
four worlds, with its branches in matter and its roots in the Ancient of
Ancients--Macroprosophus…The Tetragrammaton, or the four-lettered
Name of God, written thus ‫יהוה‬, is pronounced Jehovah. The first
letter is ‫י‬, Yod, the Germ, the Life, the Flame, the Cause, the One, and
the most fundamental of the Jewish phallic emblems…from which it
goes forth to impregnate Binah, which is the first ‫ה‬, He. The result of
this union is Tiphereth, which is the ‫ ו‬Vau, whose power is 6 and which
symbolizes the six members of the Lesser Adam. The final ‫ה‬, He, is
Malchuth, the Inferior Mother, partaking in part of the potencies of the
Divine Mother.” 142

This reference from The Secret Teachings of all Ages by Manly P. Hall also
states that Microprosophus – the Lesser Adam – is Elohim, the created
offspring of Chochmah and Binah: “The six powers of Microprosophus
flow from and are contained in their own source, which is Binah, the
Mother of the Lesser Adam. These constitute the spheres of the sacred
planets; their name is Elohim, and they move upon the face of the deep.”
As noted previously, Kabbalah teaches that Ein Sof created Elohim. The
Zohar interprets the first verse of Genesis as “With beginning, [Ein Sof]
created God [Elohim]” which is also translated by the rabbis of Kabbalah to
read “He created six.”

The Word of God tells us that Elohim is the true God and Creator in
Genesis, but here we see Satan usurping the Word of God and inserting
himself into the biblical text as god and creator of the Most High God! This
explains how the initiates of Theosophy like Bailey and Blavatsky, or the
Grand Masters of Freemasonry like Pike and Hall, or the priests of
Kabbalah throughout history could believe and teach that Lucifer is the hero
and god of Genesis because of his gift of illumination to mankind.

Manly Hall was no novice. He gave many of clues for the reader to piece
together the secret. In the chapter already quoted above titled “The Tree of
the Sephiroth” Hall disclosed that “In the Qabbalah it is declared that the
Yod is in reality three Yods, of which the first is the beginning, the second is
the center, and the third is the end.” In other words, the Yod in the IHVH
Tetragrammaton actually represents three Yods. Using a simple Hebrew
letter chart and adding the numerical value of Elohim/‫ אלהים‬we deduce the
following; where ‫ = א‬1, ‫ = ל‬30, ‫ = ה‬5, ‫ = י‬10, ‫ = ם‬600, the sum is 646. By
adding in two additional Yods, 10 + 10 + 646, 666 = the mystical number of
the name.

The Zohar alludes to Genesis 1:1 as containing the secret of secrets and the
supernal mystery of the divine name which spans the universe through
engravings of the number “six.” According to Kabbalah everything in
creation, from beginning to end, is sealed with the V, the Vau, which is the
six. Therefore it should come as no surprise to find Satan exalting himself
as God in the very first verse of Genesis, from the beginning! It will be
further shown that the sage mystics, in step with their god Lucifer, have
gone to great lengths to manipulate the Word of God by imposing the
numbers 6 and 666 into the Scriptures through the sorcery of Kabbalah.

These same rabbinic sages, some of which are listed in The Return of the
Kosher Pig, see the science of Kabbalah and the magical power of Hebrew
letters to effect spiritual transformation and alter world events as the
necessary harbinger and forerunner of the sixth millennium that will
precede the coming of their Moshiach. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we
must be able to differentiate between the true Biblical interpretation of
Scripture and the gnostic exploitation of God’s Word as mystically
translated by the kabbalists.

In Revelation chapter one Jesus said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the

beginning and the ending…the first and the last.” He did not say ‘I am the
Aleph and the Tav’ nor is there any sacred name to be found hidden in the
codes of the Hebrew alphabet. It is my hope that every Christian reading
this information will hold fast to the Word of life and to the name which is
above every name, Jesus Christ, the real Yeshua, and to say like Paul:

For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to

keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2
Timothy 1:12
 Chapter 9

Secrets of the Millennium: The Two

Messiahs of the Final Redemption

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:8

“And at the end of the Formless and the Void and the Darkness (that is,
at the end of the exile this saying shall have place: Isa. ii. 11). And the
Tetragrammaton alone shall be exalted in that day (that is, in the time
of Messiah).”
(Zohar, The Book of Concealed Mystery) 143

“This [final] redemption will come only as a result of Torah study,

chiefly the study of Kabbalah.” (Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna, from his
commentary on the Zohar) 144

According to the prophecy in the Zohar, the purpose of releasing the

mysteries of Kabbalah globally is to prepare the world for the seventh
millennium and the coming of Moshiach. As noted above, this period is
called the footsteps of Messiah – Ikveta DiM’shicha – and is based on the
Shiur Komah, the god-man image of Adam Kadmon in the Sefirot tree. The
rabbis refer to this as the Netzach-Hod paradigm, as Netzach and Hod are
the seventh and eighth sephirah and represent the legs of the image. The
Netzach-Hod paradigm marks the time just before the final redemption.
The ninth sephira, Yesod, is representative of the male phallus which
channels the life force of Ein Sof to Malkut the feet, the Shekhinah bride and
kingdom of the god-man image.

“Netsah and Hod are the right and left legs respectively…Jesod is the
generative system, or the foundation of form; and Malchuth represents
the two feet, or the base of being.” 145
“Yesod is the channel through which Tiferet strives to unite with
Shekhinah and pass on the creative and benevolent divine forces…This
Sefirah is symbolized as the male phallus, sanctified through the
covenant of circumcision.” 146
According to the Zohar, the mystery of six thousand years is based on an
esoteric interpretation of the first words of Genesis chapter one and the six
days of creation. In Kabbalah, the six days of creation correspond to the six
sefirah that form the six-pointed star of Microprosopus or Metatron’s cube;
the Shiur Komah god-man image. Each of the six sefirah represents 1,000
years and combined they form the six directions of the universe. The
seventh millennium is the age to come, the final Shabbat, the antichrist
kingdom of god on earth. The seventh millennium also represents Malkut,
the tenth sefirah who is also Shekhinah. As noted previously, it was
Shekhinah who fell into the abyss at the shattering of the Sefirot tree, yet is
destined to rise from the pit.
“Six thousand years depend from the six first. This is what the wise
have said, that the world shall last six thousand years, and it is
understood from the six numbers of Microprosopus…Hence are the
"six thousand years" deduced from the six first words, which also are
said to refer to the six Sephiroth of whom Microprosopus is formed;”
147
“…thousands signify the future…the idea of six being extended into as
many thousands, to symbolise that number on the plane of a future
age… so also the Schechinah, or Kingdom, is itself exiled…By the same
rule, the millennium is deduced from the seventh word. The seventh
space here means Malkuth, the kingdom, or the queen, which together
with the six of Microprosopus, makes up the seven lower Sephiroth.”
148

The word Bereshith is the Hebrew word for beginning in Genesis 1:1, “In
the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Bereshith is said by
the sages to contain the greatest mystery of creation from beginning to end
and, as noted above, is translated by the kabbalists as “he created six.” The
following excerpt from the Zohar describes the initiation of Rabbi Hiya into
the secret of the six encoded in the word Bereshith. Note that Metatron, the
angel of the presence, and the directions of the six-sided cube are
mentioned:

“Bereshith, "In the beginning," said Rabbi Ionda, "what is the

signification of this mystical word? It is hochma—wisdom…Like a
globe it includes the six directions of space, viz., north, south, east and
west, high and low, from which emanate six streams of existence, all of
which flow at last into the great ocean of primal life. Another occult
signification of Bereshith is this, Bara sith (he created six)…Rabbi Hiya
and Rabbi Jose were walking together in the country and when they
reached their destination, said Rabbi Hiya: "This occult meaning of
bereshith is undoubtedly correct, since we find in the Book of Genesis
that the creation of all things occurred and took place in six days and
not more. In an ancient occult work on Genesis we have found many
references to this account… Rabbi Hiya heard a voice from heaven
exclaiming: "Fall back! make room for the King Messiah coming to the
school of Rabbi Simeon, whose students are all initiates and master
teachers of the secret doctrine." Then came Messiah and visited all the
celestial schools and confirmed the teachings and expositions of the
mysteries given by their appointed instructors…Turning to Rabbi
Simeon...Messiah spake and said: "Blessed art thou, Rabbi Simeon, for
thy mystic teachings are of the highest worth and valued and cherished
by all. They only, along with those of Hesekiah, King of Judah, and
Achiya, the Solonite, are marked and sealed with the approval of the
holy one. I have come hither because I know that the angel of the
presence visits no other school save yours." 149

Another bizarre twist of Scripture by the rabbis relates the events of the
flood in Noah’s day to the rise of technology in our current sixth
millennium. In this strange scenario Genesis 7:11 is taken completely out
of context to represent future events which correspond to the global release
of kabbalistic knowledge that will precede the coming of Moshiach. We
know that the opening of the windows of heaven in Noah’s day brought the
total destruction of the world. One can only imagine what ominous plot is
lurking behind the self-fulfilling prophecies of the Zohar.
“What does the future hold? There is a Talmudic statement that the
world will exist for 6000 years and then enter a new state…The
Kabbalah explains that each millennium is a Divine day, and as we
approach the seventh millennium we are actually approaching the
Divine Sabbath…As the world nears the era of Mashiach, knowledge in
all areas of life is rapidly expanding. This concept is found in the
Zohar, which comments of the verse, “In the six hundredth year of
Noah’s life…the windows of Heaven were opened” (Genesis 7:11).
According to the Zohar, the six hundredth year is also the sixth
millennium, and the “windows of Heaven” are opening to allow
knowledge and discovery to flow into our world at an unprecedented
rate. To illustrate: the year 5600 (the six hundredth year of the sixth
millennium) corresponds to the year 1840 in the Common-era. A
cursory inspection of that period reveals that it was in the late 1800s
that the Industrial Revolution began.” 150

According to the Zohar the illumination of the nations and the revelation of
Moshiach in Israel will not be an instantaneous event but will unfold as a
gradual process. Based on the mystical timeline of the rabbis, this process
began in the year 1840. In the current Netzach-Hod paradigm the left and
right pillars of the Sefirot tree also represent the two messiahs of Kabbalah,
the Trein M’shechin. These two messiahs are Mashiach ben Joseph and
Mashiach ben David. Until recently, the mystery of two messiahs has
remained largely unknown outside of kabbalistic circles, but is now being
revealed in small increments to accelerate the final redemption.

“The two meshichim are the guards and defenders of the existence of
Israel throughout all the generations, even during the exile. Their main
place is at the gates of Jerusalem, the opening of the walls. This is
revealed by the words: “our feet were standing in the gates of
Jerusalem.” “Our feet” refers to the two meshichim in the line of
Netzach and Hod.” 151

Typical of rabbinic Judaism, there are dark sexual overtones hidden deep
within this mystery which revolve around the sphere of Yesod and its phallic
imagery; another reason this secret has been long concealed from the
masses. However, what is important is the end-time agenda of this
millennial script. In the tradition of Kabbalah there was a split in the last
two sephira, Yesod and Malkut, at the time of the shattering of the Sefirot
tree. This cosmic split brought about the necessity of two messiahs and two
stages of tikkun – the repair of the world. Messiah ben David is
traditionally viewed as the messianic ruler of the seventh millennium, but it
is Messiah ben Joseph that has been the guiding force of Israel throughout
history. Messiah ben Joseph is viewed as the predecessor of Messiah ben
David. In his present-day role he is the revealer and disseminator of
Kabbalah during the Ikveta DiM’shicha or footsteps of Messiah, as noted by
Rabbi Hillel Rivlin:

“According to our master, the Gaon, all activities and all efforts – in all
their particulars, down to the most minute details – that are directed to
the ingathering of the exiles, the building of Jerusalem, the expansion
and resettlement of the Land of Israel, and the return of the Shechinah
(Divine Presence), are dependent upon the mission and destiny of the
Messiah of the Beginning, the first Messiah – Mashiach ben Yoseph.
He is the supra-natural force that aids every activity, which is “aroused
from below”…During the period of Ikveta DiM’shicha the revelations
will begin little by little…[It is specifically through the learning of the
Kabbalah] that the mysteries of the Torah will be revealed. This is part
of the sacred mission of the Messiah of the Beginning, Mashiach ben
Yoseph.” 152

Digging deeper into the secret doctrine of the sages, one is not surprised to
discover the fallen angel Metatron at the root of this mystery. Within the
rabbinic writings we find that Metatron is the “oversoul” of Messiah ben
Joseph. 153 He is the “supranatural force” that will unify and bring balance
to the left and right pillars of the Sefirot tree, the twin messiahs. Moreover,
Metatron is Messiah ben Joseph who will defeat the enemies of Israel and
raise Shekhinah from the abyss. Recalling Metatron’s association with the
number 6 and Yesod as the “channel” for knowledge, I quote the following
based on the Kabbalah school of Rabbi Eliyahu from the book, Kol Hator:

“Mashiach ben Yoseph is the meta-archangel known throughout the

Talmud (including the standard commentaries of Rashi and Tosafot),
Midrash, and Zohar, as Metatron.” 154

“Yosef is still alive…the Mashiach ben Yosef from above is Metatron,

the Minister of Interior; as is known, Yosef is Metatron. Both of them
are from the light from above, and both are in the sefira Yesod…there
will be a unification of the Holy one blessed be He and the Shechina
through the unification of the two meshichim…The purpose of
gathering in the exiles is to wage God’s war against Amalek, which was
the main mission of Joshua, in line with Mashiach ben Yosef…It is also
intended to remove the spirit of impurity from the Land, and to bring
Knesset Israel and Shechina from below, from the earth…A person must
elevate himself spiritually and by performing good deeds, with the
assistance of the might and secret of “Metatron, Minister of Interior” to
the level of the upper lights, the level the sounds of the shofar reach.
[999 in gematria] is the angel of Mashiach ben Yosef. His name equals
999 in the sefira Yesod…“Metatron Minister of Interior” the one who
brings the sound of the Shofar to Heaven…The abundance of lights
which is the ! [999] sperm of the sefira Yesod… The unity of the Holy
One blessed be He with the Shechina…Engaging in the war against
Esau and Ismael…“then the land will be appeased.” 155

In this section of Kol Hator we see many disturbing elements of rabbinic

eschatology. As Messiah ben Joseph, it is Metatron who is the mediator
between man and God. As Minister of Interior it is Metatron who brings
prayers before the throne in the sound of the shofar. I have already
referenced this as one of Itzhak Shapira’s teachings from his book, The
Return of the Kosher Pig, but I mention it here again to show that these
esoteric traditions remain the bedrock of Talmudic and kabbalistic
millennialism. Shapira can be seen teaching this heretical doctrine in a
video presentation titled “Are you Born Again??” where he states that it is
through Yeshua/Metatron that our prayers are heard. 156

Next we see that Messiah ben Joseph’s gematria is 999. In Kol Hator this is
called “Formula 999” and represents the unity of the “Holy One” with
“Shechina” through three combinations of letters. The number 999 also
relates to the beginning of creation as well as the exact year when Moshiach
will arrive on the earth. Through the manipulation of numbers using
gematria, the kabbalists have determined the new world order to begin in
2019: this is based on the computation that 2 x 999 and 3 x 666 both equal
1998, then by further adding and subtracting the value of other Hebrew
letters to 1998 they arrive at the year 2019, the sum and predicted date of
Moshiach’s arrival. 157

Both contemporary and ancient rabbinic writings such as Kol Hator

repeatedly cast Messiah ben Joseph as engaging in a war against Esau and
Ismael (Ishmael) in order to appease or cleanse the land. Now it is no
secret who Ishmael is, but who is Esau? The sages tell us plainly. Esau is
Edom and Edom is Rome, specifically Christianity.

“Edom is Esau…Esau/Edom's descendants since Biblical times have

been identified with Europe, specifically the empire of Rome.
According to the Torah understanding, ancient Rome never actually
fell thus leaving the public scene. It was only replaced by the Church…
As we know the head of the Church always has been in the city of
Rome. Therefore Edom is Rome, Rome is Christianity and thus Edom
is all those domains to which the Christianity of Rome has spread.” 158

Together, Esau and Ishmael are the external forces, the “shells of impurity”
that must be deceived – along with the mixed multitude – during the
redemption process, as quoted previously:

“The redemption process must proceed in a circuitous manner in order

to deceive the “shells of impurity” [the external forces] and prevent
them from interfering.” 159

“The purpose of our work in ingathering the exiles is to set up people of

Truth who will promote the unification of both meshichim in the gates
of Jerusalem so that the Shechina will return…In all generations, the
major tasks of the two meshichim together, Mashiach ben Yosef and
Mashiach ben David, are self-defense and to wage war against the three
heads of the outer shells or layers: Esau, Ismael and the mixed
multitude. The special task of Mashiach ben Yosef is to counter Esau,
the outer shell on the left. The special task of Mashiach ben David
against Ismael is to counter Ismael, the outer shell on the right. The two
meshichim together are duty-bound to operate against Esau and
Ismael, who are likened to an ox and a donkey of impurity…we must
destroy the might of the mixed multitude, the layer of the wicked
Armilus, and drive them out of Israel…The mixed multitude is our
greatest enemy, for it separates the two meshichim…The two
meshichim…are “a scepter and a lawgiver.”…They are the holy ox and
holy donkey who wage war against the impure ox and impure donkey,
i.e., Ismael and Esau…They are the “‘feet of God’” that are in Netzach
and Hod. They stand firmly in the gates of Jerusalem…The
Redemption of Truth can occur only after destroying the klipah shell/
layer of Esau that appears in the form of Armilus, the epitome of the
truth-hater.” 160

Buried deep in the writings of the Mishnah sages, there is yet another
mystery concerning Edom or Esau. This is the secret of “The Head of
Esau” or “The Beheading of Esau” and refers to the Jewish fable that Esau’s
death was by decapitation. 161 This tradition is based on a rabbinic
commentary of Genesis 50:13 which states, “In the Cave of Machpelah in
Hebron (the burial place of the Patriarchs). . . Esau’s head lies in the
bosom of Isaac. (Targum Yonatan, Genesis 50:13) 162 The Targum
Yonatan gives no explanation for the addition of this story in relation to the
actual events recorded in Genesis 50. However, in the coded language of
the rabbis we see that it is closely connected to the ongoing war against
Esau/Edom in the final redemption process.

“If one wishes to understand the future then one must understand the
past; for the future is just its reflection…The great pre-Messianic
Tikkun does not occur exclusively in the invisible spiritual dimensions.
It has its parallel fulfillments here in our physical world…
Our Sages relate a legend about the death of Esau, who is Edom. The
legend states that when Jacob was taken to be buried in Makhpelah
that Esau and his clan came to block his interment. This led to a war
between the sons of Esau and the sons of Jacob. In this war, Esau
himself was killed and decapitated…In the end times, the great battle
between Jacob and Esau is to come to its final fruition. Biblical
prophecies speak of the resounding defeat of Edom and everything
related to it…This does not mean that everyone literally dies, but
rather, that everyone finally is able to see and receive the Light of Truth
and thus a new dawn for humanity arises.” 163

In his book, The Messianic Idea in Judaism, Gershom Scholem relates the
course of apocalyptic events as foretold in the Zohar. Following the
legends of the Aggadah in the Babylonian Talmud, Scholem describes the
redemption as a process of “gradual illumination of the world by the light of
Messiah” that culminates in a mystic utopia:

“At the time when the Holy One, blessed be He, shall set Israel upright
and bring them up out of Galut He will open to them a small and scant
window of light, and then He will open another that is larger, until He
will open to the them the portals on high to the four directions of the
universe…so shall it be and not at a single instant…” 164

According to the Zohar, this same light will be a destructive force to the
nations as Israel is propelled to world domination. Scholem continues:

“The Gentiles (who are designated Esau or Edom), however, will suffer
the opposite fate. They received their light in this world at a single
stroke, but it will depart from them gradually until Israel shall grow
strong and destroy them. And when the spirit of uncleanliness shall
pass from the world and the divine light shall shine upon Israel without
let or hinderance, all things will return to their proper order – to the
state of perfection…The worlds will all be joined one to another and
nothing will separate Creator from creature. All will rise upward by
ascents of the spirit, and creatures will be purified until they behold the
Shekhinah ‘eye to eye’.” 165

The expectation of a golden age of peace and prosperity on earth can be

found in nearly every religious system, including some denominations of
Christian eschatology. This idealistic dream of an earthly utopian
millennium, widely promoted by New Age leaders, has long been the focus
of investigation by the church to unlock the identity of Mystery Babylon in
Revelation 17 and 18. However, its roots can be traced back to ancient
Babylon from where it was adopted by the blind leaders of Israel during
their captivity and later codified in the writings of the Babylonian Talmud
and Kabbalah.

Nearly ten years ago when the Holy Spirit began to reveal to me out of the
Scriptures the mysteries of the great city Jerusalem, I made efforts to share
this information with pastors. In every instance I received the same answer:
they could not or would not acknowledge the Biblical evidence pointing to
Jerusalem as Mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots. This overwhelming
response is based in tightly held traditions of men and is often rooted in
fear.

Another frequently repeated answer I heard from church leaders was that
the city in Revelation 17:18 and chapter 18 is described as reigning over the
kings of the earth and governing the wealth of commerce between the
nations. Therefore the harlot of Revelation could not possibly be “tiny”
Jerusalem. Only New York or some other metropolis could fit the
description. Just ten years ago Israel was not considered a global power in
the eyes of many. Today this is no longer the case. According to the
rabbinic timeline, the New Age is upon us. Jerusalem is rising and the
entire world is witnessing Israel’s technological quantum leap to become
the head of the kingdoms of this world.
 Chapter 10

The Utopian Kingdom of Kabbalah

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of

this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to
the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36

Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him,
All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been
delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will
worship before me, all will be Yours. And Jesus answered and said to
him, Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the Lord
your God, and Him only you shall serve.
Luke 4:5-8

The opening of the war against Gog and Magog will start with the first
redemption before the coming of the righteous mashiach - Mashiach
ben David… Anyone who does not participate in the war…is actually
becoming a partner of the “layer” of the mixed multitude. Whoever he
is, he would have been better off had he not been born.” 166

“Jerusalem will become the ideal capital of the new Universal State…
Hence, with the advent of the Messiah, who will usher in the ideal era,
all the national ensigns and laws, which are barriers to genuine
international peace, brotherhood, and the happiness of mankind, will
gradually disappear. Only the Messianic flag, the symbol of knowledge,
peace, tranquility of the individual mind, will remain, and all the
nations will center round that emblem…All will recognize one flag or
standard, bearing the name of God…The world will, therefore, unite in
praising the Lord for Israel’s universalism.” Rabbi Michael Higger,
The Jewish Utopia 167
One of the most revealing contemporary sources concerning the millennial
reign of the Moshiach in the world to come is Rabbi Michael Higger’s
controversial book, The Jewish Utopia, published in 1932. Higger was a
Talmudic scholar and his book is based on rabbinic interpretations of
biblical prophecy as set forth in the Babylonian Talmud, the Palestinian
Talmud, the Midrash and other apocryphal writings. Many Christians have
been alarmed by Higger’s Jewish supremacist vision of a future utopian
kingdom in which only the righteous will be allowed to exist in the ideal
era on earth; the word righteous refers only to those who support a
politicized global domination of all other nations by Israel. On page 41
Higger wrote:

“Only those who are convinced of Israel’s divine purpose in the world,
will be welcome to join Israel in the upbuilding of an ideally spiritual
life on earth. Israel, the ideal, righteous people, will thus become
spiritually the masters of the world.”

The Jewish Utopia is full of such conceptions of a future kingdom which

Higger repeatedly describes in terms like the new order, the new age, an
ideal society, the new social order, the ideal World, the Universal State, the
super-structure, paradise on earth, a new economic order, universal Israel,
the Messianic age, the Kingdom of God and the Rabbinic Utopia, the
supposed seventh millennium. 168

Higger’s utopian vision is a call for reconstruction which he says can only
come from “the Talmud and cognate rabbinic literature.” In his opening
statements, Higger laments that the kingdom promised by the prophets has
not yet been fulfilled on the earth, stating that, “Dogmatic Christianity has
come, dogmatic Christianity will be gone.” 169 In agreement with the
predictions of the Zohar, Higger noted that the redemption will be a process
of “important reforms and changes” in which “wicked people” and
“unrighteous nations” – “traditional Edom and Rome” – will “disappear
from the earth,” eventually ushering in the millennium and the
establishment of the Kingdom of God. 170

Similarly, as presented in the writings of Kabbalah, according to Higger it is

Leviathan that will symbolize a new world order of socialism in which “the
righteous will prosper and the wicked suffer.” As a rabbinic voice of the
Talmudic sages, Higger decreed that righteousness alone will be the
currency of the coming kingdom.

“The Leviathan is thus a universal symbol of the new era in which

the righteous will prosper and the wicked suffer. The Leviathan,
furthermore, is the emblem of the ideal age, when this world will
become the home of the righteous. It is an ideal symbol of a new
economic order in the world, when righteousness will be one’s only
requisite for acceptance unto the realm of happiness and
prosperity.” 171

What is most notable about Higger’s Jewish Utopia is that he understood

what many Christians today do not: the diametric opposition of a future
earthly kingdom of God in Israel as hoped for by the rabbis to that of the
Kingdom of Jesus Christ who said to Pilate before His crucifixion, “My
kingdom is not of this world.” In the final chapter of his book, Higger
discusses the “Jewish conception of the Kingdom of God” versus the
“dogmatic doctrine of the Kingdom in the New Testament.” 172

To show the conflict between these two kingdoms, Higger in fact quoted the
very words of Jesus to Pilate in John 18:36, “My kingdom is not of this
world,” as well as those of Paul the Apostle who said in 1 Corinthians
15:50, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
Kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit corruption.”

Blinded by his rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, Higger wrote that
there is no “continuation of the prophetic hope” in the Kingdom Jesus
offered, but that “rabbinic Judaism is directly following the footsteps of the
prophets, with regard to their ideology of the Kingdom of God on earth.”
173 Higger was right about one thing: the Babylonian Talmudic worldly
kingdom of Kabbalah is at enmity with the true Kingdom of God, of which
Jesus Christ was the complete fulfillment. In his misappropriation of
Biblical prophecy Higger, like the rabbis before him, has fulfilled the
Apostle Paul’s words in Acts 13:
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew
Him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath
day, they have fulfilled them in condemning Him…And we declare
unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made to the
fathers, God hath fulfilled the same. Acts 13:27, 32-33

Little by little, one footstep at a time, we are witnessing the gradual

transformation of the Gospel with the central focus and position of Jesus
Christ in Scripture slowly being replaced by another gospel, another spirit,
another Jesus, and another kingdom. Like Rabbi Higger, Rabbi Itzhak
Shapira places earthly Jerusalem, along with the sacrificial system of the
old covenant, front and center in his kingdom eschatology.

In a video presentation titled “The Fullness of the Gentiles” Shapira states

that “King Messiah will be ruling in Jerusalem” and that “they [the nations]
will receive correction” as they are “restored fully into the Hebraic faith.”
He states this will be “a Jewish worship experience” that includes animal
sacrifices in the temple with a remnant of Gentiles from the nations – “those
who are left” – coming to Jerusalem to bow down to the “lord king” and
“celebrate” the sacrifices. Shapira says this is the “one new man”
(Ephesians 2:15) when God will judge the nations and they receive a “new
revelation” as “the Jewish people will teach the world how to worship the
Messiah.” 174

Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will
neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem worship the Father. You
worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for
salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the
Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is a Spirit, and those who
worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:21-24

It may come as a shock to many Christians to discover in Revelation 11:8

that Jesus refers to earthly Jerusalem as “the great city, which spiritually is
called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” In Galatians
4:25-26 the Apostle Paul makes clear that Jerusalem “which now is” is in
bondage, but that Jerusalem which is above is free, the “mother of us all.”
This truth is further explained by Paul in Hebrews 11-13 where he writes of
the heavenly city which Abraham sought and that here we have no
continuing city, but we seek one to come; the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, whose builder and maker is God. Yet how many today
have set their eyes and their hearts on earthly Jerusalem as the eternal
capital city and future kingdom of God?

The rabbis of Kabbalah teach that the seventh millennium will be the great
Shabbat, a time of peace when all nations will worship the divine presence
in Jerusalem; but at what cost? In The Jewish Utopia Jerusalem is called
the dwelling place of glory, “the holy city” where the temple will be
established “in the midst thereof.” In the ideal era to come Higger stated,
“Israel, having attained perfection, must ultimately have a far reaching
influence on the course of the destiny of nations. In the rabbinic
terminology, the spiritual fire of Israel will devour the wicked nations.” 175
In a chilling statement that sounds like something out of the Book of
Revelation, Higger wrote the following:

“To understand the rabbinic conception of an ideal world it will help

us if we imagine a hand passing from land to land, from country to
country, from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean, and from the
Indian Ocean to the North Pole, marking “righteous” or “wicked”
on the forehead of each one of the sixteen million inhabitants of our
earthly globe. We should then be on the right road toward solving
the major problems that burden so heavily the shoulders of
suffering humanity. For mankind should be divided into two, and
only two, distinct and unmistakable groups, namely, righteous and
wicked…Consequently, in the ideal era, there will be no people who
will believe in the division of the Godhead into two or more parts, or
persons. Only those peoples who believe in one God will survive in the
ideal world.” 176

Higger’s rabbinic conception of an ideal society, as outlined in the

Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah, is a call for the complete destruction of
those individuals and nations who will not assist in the “upbuilding” of a
utopian kingdom in Israel; namely Esau and Edom, Christianity and Islam.
Rabbi Shapira appears to agree. Relying on rabbinic commentary, he stated
in a message that in the future Hashem will take revenge on Edom and the
nations, not on Israel, and his clothes will be red from the blood of the
nations being poured out. 177 According to Shapira, Esau represents “the
spirit of Christianity today,” while “Islam is the spirit of Edom.” Shapira
then tells his audience they better make sure they are “grafted into Israel,”
adding that “if you reject the revelation of Israel, you in essence join
yourself to Edom.” 178

In a 2017 interview with Rabbi Jonathan Bernis and Benny Hinn, Rabbi
Shapira gave a similar message, stating that at the great and terrible day of
the Lord, the Lord will come out of Edom and crush Edom, which is
Christianity. Not only does Shapira tell his audience that Christianity is
Edom, but that Yeshua is also Esau. He deduces this through a
configuration of gematria by “flipping” the letters of Esau around to form
the name Yeshua. According to Shapira, Yeshua has been a prisoner in a
foreign land, in Edom with the Christians, but will soon come out of Edom,
crush Christianity, and return to Zion. Therefore, he says we need to make
sure we get the “real” Yeshua and hasten his return by relearning the story
of the gospel. It is noteworthy that Jonathan Bernis adds that Israel is
becoming the head, not the tail, through technology, cyberwarfare and
through military export, implying that this is the means through which
Yeshua will fight against the Gentile nations. 179

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ,
and Him crucified…And my speech and my preaching was not with
enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and
of power.
1 Corinthians 2:2, 4

It is not surprising that some Christian leaders have described Itzhak

Shapira as a modern-day Apostle Paul, having been impressed by his
“encyclopedic knowledge of rabbinic sources.” The Return of the Kosher
Pig is endorsed by an equally impressive list of rabbis and Christian
ministers like Dr. Michael Brown who praises the book, while ignoring its
obvious propagation of Babylonian Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah. 180
However, there are many in the Jewish community who are at odds with
Shapira’s application of the kosher pig to Yeshua as the Messiah.
One Orthodox Jewish writer – Menashe Dovid – states in an online review
of Shapira’s book, “Nowhere is there a connection between any Messiah
and a pig in any writings of the Lubavicher Rebbe and the writings of the
Sages.” Dovid goes on to explain that the Midrash contains multiple
interpretations in reference to the pig becoming kosher in the messianic era;
some literal, some allegorical. He then notes, “However, the major
personality who was associated with the pig was Esau in particular, and,
eventually, the Romans (his descendants) in general.” Citing the Midrash,
he writes, “Some of the Rishonim [early Hebrew scholars] explained that
the return of the pig does not refer to eating pork, but rather to the
restoration of the Jewish government in place of the Christian one.” 181

An alternative explanation of the pig becoming kosher as expounded by 13th

Century Rabbi Bachaya has Edom – Rome – “returning” to build a Third
Temple as an act of recompense for their destruction of the Second Temple.
Yet another opinion of the rabbis reads, “Why is this nation [Edom – Rome]
compared to a pig? Because G-d will, in the future, turn (lit. return) upon
them the attribute of judgment.” 182

Menashe Dovid then asks the rhetorical question, “What has the above got
to do with the kosher pig being Jesus/Yeshua and Jews having to accept
Jesus as a divine messiah?” He explains, “The answer is that there is no
connection between a messiah let alone a divine messiah and the return of
the pig or that the pig is the messiah.” 183 It is obvious that neither Dovid
nor the Talmudic rabbis over the course of history ever associated the idea
of the pig becoming kosher to a future divine messianic figure. The
opposite is true. If there is any common theme in the rabbinic literature
concerning the mysterious identity and future of the kosher pig, it is that the
Christian faith will undergo a transformational shift through the rejection of
Jesus Christ as the Messiah!

One of Judaism’s most admired rabbis and scholars was Moses

Maimonides, also known as the Rambam and author of the Mishneh Torah.
In a lecture presented by Jews for Judaism, Rabbi Michael Skobac stated,
“Maimonides wrote in the 12th Century that Christianity and Islam are
actually preparing the world for the ultimate truth and this will lead to either
the universal embrace of the Noahide path or potentially conversion to
Judaism.” 184 A staunch opponent of the writings of the Apostle Paul,
Skobac believes that the only “acceptable spiritual path” for non-Jews
envisioned by Judaism is the “default” universal spiritual path of the
Noahide Code; another Babylonian tradition of the rabbis which is nowhere
found in the Bible! 185

As much as some Christians would like to believe in the return of a kosher

pig named Yeshua, it is certain that this will not be Jesus Christ, the Son of
God of the New Covenant. It is also clear in the Talmud and Kabbalah that
the rabbis did not have Jesus in mind as the Messiah in their codified
writings, though they may have conferred such a title on Metatron.

What is paramount in these ancient oracles of the kosher pig is a collective

vision of the destruction of Christianity that has long been held in secrecy.
It is hard to overlook the recurrent theme of war that the sages say must
precede the peaceful Shabbat of the 7th millennium. Either way one views
the return of a kosher pig, the picture is a dim one at best. What much of
apocalyptic rabbinic literature does signify is a plan concerning the
influence on the course of the destiny of nations that includes a global
paradigm shift as a result of the transformation of the Christian faith
through the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

“In fact if the midrashim are anything to go by, Esav is the pig which
represents in a historical time line: pagan Rome, Christian Rome and
present day worldwide Christianity at large which includes messianic
Judaism, which in the end undergo a transformation which renders them
Kosher by their rejection of Yeshua.” 186

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the
earth?
Luke 18:8
 Chapter 11

The Testimony of Jesus: The Seal of Truth

I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of

Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:10

But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father,
the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
John 15:26

Some Christians know that Satan is forming a world government (New

World Order) which he plans to rule from modern Israel through the
coming false Jewish Messiah…What most Christians don’t know is
that the apostate Church will not only be a partner in this New World
Order, but is even now working toward its creation. ‘Evangelical
churches will be the chief instrument to bring the New World Order to
birth.’ ” 187

The four Gospels of the New Testament record the complete fulfillment of
the ministry and testimony of Jesus Christ in His death, burial and
resurrection. 2 Corinthians 15:1-4 tells us exactly what the Gospel is
according to the scriptures. “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the
gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you
stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I
preached to you—unless you believed in vain….that Christ died for our
sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose
again the third day according to the Scriptures.”

As Jesus was hanging on the cross, the accusation for His death was placed
over His head: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Those
standing by, including the chief priests and scribes, scorned Him with their
words. If He would come down from the cross and save Himself, then they
would believe in Him. How could this man be the Son of God, who dared
to say “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” This was
not the political Messiah of Israel they were looking for. Where was the
kingdom? Had not Moses and the prophets foretold it? Had not God
promised earthly dominion to Israel and appointed Zion as a light to the
Gentiles? (Isaiah 49:6)

The Spirit of prophecy testifies that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the
fulfillment of all the promises of God. In Luke 1:41 upon hearing Mary’s
greeting, Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
“Blessed is she that believed, for there will be a performance of those
things which were told her from the Lord.” This word performance means
the act or completion of prophecy, verification of, absolution, and
perfection; a perfect and complete work that continues to this day. Mary’s
response to Elisabeth was, “He hath holpen (helped) His servant Israel, in
remembrance of His mercy; As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham, and to
His seed for ever.”

Continuing in Luke, we read the prophecy of Zacharias, priest of the

Temple service and father of John the Baptist. “Blessed is the Lord God of
Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people, and raised up a horn of
salvation for us in the house of His servant David; As He spoke by the
mouth of His holy prophets, who have been since the world began: To
perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember His holy
covenant; The oath which He swore to our father Abraham.” (Verses 68-70,
72-73)

There is also the prophecy of Simeon in the Temple who said, “Lord, now
You are letting Your servant depart in peace, According to Your word; For
my eyes have seen Your salvation, Which You have prepared before the face
of all peoples; A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of
Your people Israel.” (Luke 2:29-32) And at that moment when Simeon
spoke, the prophetess Anna testified of Christ “to all them that looked for
redemption in Jerusalem.” (Verse 38) All of these were waiting for and saw
the promise of God’s redemption.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak
with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this
chain. Acts 28:20

When the Apostle Paul was brought before King Agrippa at Caesarea, he
informed the king that he was being judged for the hope of the promise
made of God unto our fathers and that it was this hope for which he was
accused of the Jews. (Acts 26:6) Recounting his own testimony of meeting
Christ in a vision on the way to Damascus, Paul confessed in defense of his
charges that he had said nothing except those things which the prophets and
Moses said should come; That Christ would suffer, that He should be the
first to rise from the dead, and that He would proclaim light to the people –
Israel – and to the Gentiles. (Acts 26:22-23 in fulfillment of Isaiah 49:6 &
60:3)

Standing before the high priest Ananias and the Jewish council, Paul
testified, “Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee:
concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged.” (Acts
23:6) Then at his trial before Felix the governor, accused of sedition and
defiling the Temple, Paul affirmed his faith in the God of his fathers and
those things written in the law and the prophets; the hope toward God of the
resurrection of the dead. (Acts 24:15, 21; Daniel 12:2)

Christian author Philip Mauro noted that this hope, repeatedly testified of
by Paul, is the true Hope of Israel and that it was for this hope that the
Apostle was accused, tried and sent to Rome in chains. Mauro’s book, The
Hope of Israel, was published in 1929 as a biblical response to this very
question: What is the true hope of Israel? For Mauro, the answer to this
question concerned the vital truth of the gospel of Christ and the salvation
of men and women, both Jew and Gentile:

“Jewish fables (literally, myths) are no new thing. Paul has plainly
warned the household of faith not to give heed thereto…it is well
known that the one [fable] that was most fondly cherished, and that
constituted the gravest menace to the truth of the gospel, was the notion
that the leading purpose of the mission of the coming Messiah would be
the reconstitution of the Jewish nation and its elevation to the highest
pinnacle of earthly dominion and glory; for that fatuous doctrine was
the cornerstone of orthodox Judaism in Paul’s day; and because of his
sturdy opposition to it he was persecuted, his enemies plotted to take
his life, and he was sent a prisoner to Rome. No wonder that, during
the term of his imprisonment there, he wrote to Titus his plain-spoken
warning against ‘Jewish fables.’ ” 188

This Jewish fable of an earthly kingdom and a return to the Old Testament
sacrificial system in an earthly temple is still the cornerstone of today’s
Orthodox Judaism, having taken firm root in Evangelical Christianity
decades ago through the Scofield Study Bible.

The Scofield Bible was first published in 1909 by Oxford University Press
and then disseminated into American seminaries and churches. It has since
swept many Christians under its spell through Scofield’s heretical notes and
false teachings of two covenants, two kingdoms and two brides: “The
Lamb’s wife…the Church, identified with the heavenly Jerusalem and to be
distinguished from Israel” and “the wife of Jehovah, yet to be restored, who
is identified with the earth [Israel].” 189 What is not commonly known is
that Scofield’s book was financed by high-level Zionist bankers and
socialists, including Jacob Schiff. It was then liberally circulated in
American seminaries and Bible colleges throughout America, a fact that
should be critically pondered as to why. 190

Philip Mauro specifically challenged the Scofield Reference Bible as the

“leading authority for this new system of teaching” which states “When
Christ appeared to the Jewish people, the next thing in the order of
revelation as it then stood should have been the setting up of the Davidic
Kingdom.” 191 Yet as Mauro points out, this radical statement subverts the
Word of God in that it “removes the sacrifice of the Lamb of God from its
central place in God’s eternal plan” from the foundation of the world!
(Revelation 13:8)

It should not be difficult to see the mark of Satan in these doctrines. And
while the Scofield Bible may be a dated book used by ministers long gone,
its fruit continues to be a main staple of evangelical eschatology,
reproducing a false Israel-centric gospel that attempts to supersede the
centrality of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures. For anyone who insists on
clinging to the fable of a future glorious kingdom in today’s earthly
Jerusalem, it should be noted that Scofield’s reference note to Zechariah 9:9
states that Jesus was “so little deceived” by His apparent reception as King,
that this caused Him to weep over Jerusalem, which in turn led Him to
announce the destruction of the city for Israel’s rejection of their Messiah,
as if this was an afterthought brought on by deception!

At the end of his ministry in Rome, Paul called the leaders of the Jews
together where he explained to them the Kingdom of God as concerning
Jesus Christ, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets. (Acts
28:17-23) While some believed, others did not and there was a division
among them. Had Paul spoken of an earthly kingdom through which Israel
would rule the nations, they would have gladly received his testimony. But
the Kingdom which Paul spoke of is a spiritual kingdom, one which flesh
and blood cannot inherit and into which none can enter or ever see apart
from being born again, from above, by the Spirit; for that which is born of
the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (1 Corinthians
15:50, John 3:3-6) This is the true mystery of godliness, that every person
born of the Spirit has been delivered from the power of darkness – out of
the jurisdiction of the god of this world – and translated into the Kingdom
of His dear Son, Jesus Christ! (Colossians 1:13, 1 Timothy 3:16)

He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is

earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above
all…He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is
true. John 3:31, 33

The maxim of the kabbalistic kingdom of god on earth is As Above, So

Below and denotes that man is divine through the spark of the creator
within. This subtle lie of the serpent, first appearing in Genesis chapter
three, has never changed. In Kabbalah it is expressed in the ascending
spheres of the Sefirot tree and the interconnection of man below with Ein
Sof above. The kingdom above and the kingdom below are one. All that is
needed to merge these two kingdoms outwardly is for an enlightened
humanity to repair the world through tikkun olam. This is the correction
that Kabbalah will bring.
“The wisdom of Kabbalah, as defined by the greatest Kabbalists, is a
method to correct man and the world… If Kabbalah will spread
amongst people, then we will avoid all the catastrophes, we will merit
both this world and the world to come, and both of these worlds will
unite into one…Only the dissemination of Kabbalah will save the
world.” 192

This doctrine of an interconnected universe (olam), rooted in the

philosophical systems of ancient Egypt and Babylon, is the explicit teaching
of the rabbis referenced in The Return of the Kosher Pig. Shapira himself
has stated “That the reason the Messiah has not come yet is because the
kingdom below has not been established, and only when the kingdom
below is being established, then the kingdom above can be merging into the
kingdom below…There has to be some sort of connection of the two
kingdoms from above and below.” 193 In other words, our works (mitzvot)
determine the time of Messiah’s arrival.

The rabbis agree. The overspreading of Kabbalah on a global scale will

hasten the coming of Moshiach. In his “Appendix List of Rabbis,” Shapira
includes Rabbi Yehuda Leiv Halevi Ashlag and Rabbi Michael Lietman
(aka Laitman). Rabbi Ashlag, known as the Baal HaSulam (1884-1954), is
most revered in Judaism for his commentary on the Zohar and dedicated his
life to the dissemination of Kabbalah throughout Israel and the nations. 194
In a work titled The Horn of Messiah, Ashlag wrote:

“And the dissemination of the wisdom in the masses is called a Shofar.

Like the Shofar, whose voice travels a great distance, the echo of the
wisdom will spread all over the world…the nations will hear and
acknowledge that there is Godly wisdom in Israel.” 195

Ashlag also said that this revelation of Kabbalah to the masses is the
proclamation of Elijah the prophet, forerunner of the Moshiach.

“And that role was said about Elijah the prophet, that the disclosure of
the secrets of Torah, is always referred to by the name: The disclosure
of Elijah. As our sages said…until Elijah comes and the Tishbite would
answer questions and problems. Therefore they said that three days
(which is a famous hint) before the coming of the Messiah, Elijah shall
walk upon the summit of the mountains and blow a great horn etc. and
you shall understand that the horn is nothing but the divulgation of the
wisdom of the hidden in the masses, which is a necessary precondition
that must be before the complete redemption.” 196

The parallels between these words and those of Daniel 7:25 and Revelation
13:5-13 are striking. Surely the prophets of Kabbalah speak great words
against the Most High!

Rabbi Laitman is listed in Shapira’s Appendix of Rabbis as the founder and

director of Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Institute which is
“dedicated to teaching and sharing the wisdom of Kabbalah.” 197 Laitman
refers to Yehuda Ashlag as “the greatest Kabbalist of the 20th century” and a
“special tool that creates a connection between us, those who are below and
those who are above.” 198 On his web profile page Laitman notes that he
was the personal assistant and student of the late Yehuda Ashlag’s son,
Kabbalist Rav Baruch Shalom Ashlag (the Rabash), for twelve years. I
have previously quoted Michael Laitman above as forecasting that the
world is approaching the correction and that mankind, through the one
language of Kabbalah, will unite by returning to Babylon. As host of “the
largest website on Kabbalah” Laitman states, “I am committed to continue
in the footsteps of my teachers, Baal HaSulam and Rabash, to publicly and
openly disseminate Kabbalah to anyone who wishes to know it…This
process is of the utmost importance to the future of Israel and the world at
large.” 199 In his article, The Horn Of The Messiah Is A Call For Unity,
Laitman writes:

“[The] system we live in is being revealed as a network that lacks the

right interconnection…Today, the whole world is beginning to work for
the Creator. The whole world – which comprises one soul – must
ascend up the spiritual degrees all the way to the World of Infinity…
This is called, ‘the coming of the Messiah,’ and the dissemination of the
wisdom of Kabbalah to the whole world is called, ‘the horn of the
Messiah.’ ” 200
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy
1:15

The true hope of Israel and the nations is the blood of the covenant of the
Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, which He fulfilled in His death, burial and
resurrection. It is not the false ideology of an occult kingdom unified and
built on the foundations of sorcery and vain prognostications of soothsaying
rabbis like those listed in Shapira’s book. Yet Shapira has told his followers
that “the New Covenant is yet to be fulfilled, and it will be only completely
fulfilled when Yeshua’s glorious return,” adding that “nobody in the room
should be very excited now and say I’m saved, because covenant is not
done with an individual, covenant is done with the corporate.” 201

Relying heavily on rabbinic testimonies cited in his book, Shapira has

stated, “The key message of the good news is not the gospel of salvation,
but rather the gospel of the kingdom.” 202 In a “Message to the Church for
the last days” Shapira told his audience, “The message is the message of a
kingdom” as he prayed over those in attendance who “understand that they
are in the business of the kingdom, they are not in the business of
salvation.” 203 After announcing that the New Covenant is yet to be
fulfilled, Shapira encouraged his listeners to imagine what will happen “if
one billion Christians will hold and return to the covenants…an awakening
from the Christian world, a real awakening to return to the covenants.
Yeshua will surely come. This is your purpose.” 204

Reinforcing the purpose of the nations to bring the Moshiach to Israel,

Shapira once again clarifies the identity of the kosher pig Yeshua, stating,
“…but if you bring Jesus, you bring the wrong guy. Don’t bring us Jesus…
Bring the real Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah.” 205 Concluding his message to
the Church, Shapira then affirms those who know the time and hear the
sound of the shofar! 206

It is remarkable that the rabbis referenced in Shapira’s book equate the

global initiation of humanity into Kabbalah with the coming of Elijah as
prophesied in Malachi 3:1-3 and 4:5-6. In doing so, they are desperately
trying to fulfill prophetic events that have already occurred by attempting to
produce a prophetic forerunner to their Moshiach.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before
me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,
even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall
come, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:1

Based on the plainly spoken testimony of Jesus, John the Baptist was the
fulfillment of this prophecy in Malachi. In Matthew 17:10-13, having just
witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus, His disciples asked Him, “Why then
do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” Then Jesus answered them,
“Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you
that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him
whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at
their hands.” Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John
the Baptist.

In Luke 1:16-17 the angel of the Lord appeared to John’s father, Zacharias,
declaring John’s ministry to prepare the way of the Lord as the fulfillment
of Malachi 4:5-6, “And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the
Lord their God. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the
wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” This
prophetic fulfillment is further revealed in Matthew 3:3, “For this is he that
was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,” and in
the words of John who proclaimed the baptism of fire, fulfilling Malachi’s
prophecy that the Lord Jesus would be “refiner’s fire” and a “purifier of
silver.” (Matthew 3:11-12, Malachi 3:2-3)

In Matthew 11:10 Jesus quoted Malachi 3:1 concerning John the Baptist,
“For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send My messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.” In verses 13 and 14 He
said, “For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John, and if you will
receive it, this is Elias, which was to for come. He that hath ears to hear, let
him hear.” In saying this, Jesus was publicly confirming Himself as the
Messiah of Israel who came exactly as the prophets had said, with John the
Baptist, the messenger and forerunner, going before Him to prepare the
way! As the forerunner of the Messiah, John the Baptist was rejected by
the elite rulers of the day, thrown into prison and beheaded. If the leaders
of Israel could not accept Jesus, they surely could not accept John as
Elijah. Elijah came and they knew him not!

The idea that Elijah will come again in the future, before the second coming
of Christ has been deeply embedded into Christian eschatology, but has it
source in rabbinic literature. We have seen how “Elijah” is woven into the
mystical experiences of rabbis like Isaac Luria, where it is said the prophet
appeared to him as the revealer of Torah secrets. We also saw that there is a
“famous hint” that alludes to a three-day time period when Elijah will
appear before the Moshiach. According to Jewish tradition, this mythical
Elijah is repeatedly referred to as The Harbinger. 207 As forerunner and
disseminator of Kabbalah, he will herald the redemption in the footsteps of
Moshiach and execute the destruction of Edom:

“On the second day Elijah comes and stands on the mountains of Israel
and says: ‘Goodness has come to the world,’ as it is said, The Harbinger
of goodness.” 208

“When the time for Redemption arrives, it is Elijah who introduces the
Messiah to the people…In the critical period of forty-five days between
the death of Messiah ben Joseph and the appearance of Messiah ben
David…three days prior to the coming of the Messiah, Elijah
announces the advent of the Redeemer from the mountains of Israel,
slaughters the celestial prince of Edom (Rome), becomes the
spokesman of Moses, settles all the disputes, and pleads Israel’s case
before God.” 209

The magic of Kabbalah has been described as matter manipulation; the

ability to recast the course of events in the physical realm through sorcery.
Jesus referred to this as false prophets showing great signs and wonders.
There is nowhere in the Bible that states we have to do anything to bring
Jesus back, much less merge the kingdom above with the kingdom below.
Revelation 18:23 says, “For by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.” If
the prophets of Kabbalah are ever successful in producing a forerunner to
their Moshiach, he will be more akin to the false prophet of Revelation
13:13 who makes fire come down from heaven above, causing those on
earth below to worship the beast; as also prophesied by Rabbi Higger, “In
the rabbinic terminology, the spiritual fire of Israel will devour the wicked
nations.”
In an attempt to fulfill prophecy that has already been fulfilled, the rabbis of
Kabbalah and Talmud, of necessity and at the behest of Ein Sof (Lucifer),
must always push prophecy into the distant future; for Satan has said, “I
will be like the Most High God!” In so doing, they shut up the kingdom of
heaven against men: they neither go in themselves, nor do they allow them
who are entering to go in! (Matthew 23:13) They proclaim a false
redemption that will never come, because it has already come!

In Luke 16:16 Jesus said, “The law and the prophets were until John: since
that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man is pressing into
it.” The Kingdom of God continues to advance by the working of the Holy
Spirit and the response of faith by those – Jew and Gentile – who believe
the gospel as preached by John the Baptist and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the
true Messiah from beginning to end.

The Seal of Righteousness versus the Mark of Death

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…In whom we
have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to
the riches of His grace...In whom also we have obtained an
inheritance…in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with
that holy Spirit of promise.
Ephesians 1:3, 7, 11, 13

There is a fantastical fable in the Zohar that tells the story of creation
according to the Kabbalah. When the “Divine Being…willed to create the
world” each letter of the Hebrew alphabet appeared before him in reverse
order, requesting to be the first one used in the creation process. 210 As the
last of the twenty-two letters, Tav presented first:

“The letter Tau advanced in front and pleaded: May it please Thee, O
Lord of the world, to place me first in the creation of the world, seeing
that I am the concluding letter of EMeTh (Truth) which is engraved
upon Thy seal, and seeing that Thou art called by this very name of
EMeTh, it is most appropriate for the King to begin with the final letter
of EMeTh and to create with me the world. The Holy One, blessed be
He, said to her: Thou art worthy and deserving, but it is not proper
that I begin with thee the creation of the world, since thou art destined
to serve as a mark on the foreheads of the faithful ones (vide Ezek. IX, 4)
who have kept the Law from Aleph to Tau, and through the absence of
this mark the rest will be killed; and, further, thou formest the
conclusion of MaWeTh (death). Hence thou art not meet to initiate the
creation of the world… ‫ת‬Tav is the end of the seal of the Holy One,
blessed be He…‘The seal of the Holy One, blessed be He, is emeth
[truth]…It denotes the people who fulfilled the Torah from ‫ א‬alef to ‫ת‬
tav.’ ” 211
One by one the letters ascended:

“TZ then went before him, saying: ‘Because I mark the Zaddikim (the
righteous), and thou thyself nearest me in thy name, Zaddik
(righteous), and also it is written "The righteous Lord loveth
righteousness,”…it will become thee to create the world by me’…Then
said the Holy One: “Zaddi, Zaddi, thou art truly righteous, but thou
must keep thyself concealed, and thy occult meaning must not be made
known or become revealed; and therefore thou must not be used in the
creation of the world.” 212

This legend of the mystical alphabet reveals the secrets of the seal and mark
of Satan who is a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies! (John
8:44-45) The Zohar plainly states that the righteous are those who keep the
law from Aleph to Tav, from beginning to end. The fairy tale ends with Ein
Sof choosing Beth (B) to create the world, yet Aleph (A) is honored as the
seal of unity, added to every created thing to signify the oneness of Ein Sof
with his creation from the beginning.

“Then came B and said: ‘Create the world by me, because I am the
initial letter of beracha (blessing) and through me all will bless thee,
both in the world above as in the world below.” “Truly, Oh B,” said the
Holy One, “I will surely create the world by thee only.”
“Aleph, Aleph! Thou shalt be the first of all letters and my unity shall
be symbolized only by thee. In all conceptions and ideas human or
divine…shalt thou be the first, the beginning.”

“Therefore did the holy one make the letters of the celestial alphabet…
Therefore also the Book of Genesis begins with two words…Braeshith,
Bara (in the beginning created) followed by two others, whose initials
are A…Alhim, ath (God, the substance of) to show that the letters of
these alphabets celestial and earthly are one and the same by which
every creature and thing in the universe has been formed and
produced.” 213

The Zohar further reveals that “the redemption of Israel will come about
through the mystic force of the letter vav, namely, in the sixth millennium.”
214 Recalling that the Hebrew letter Vav has the numerical value of 6, we
will now see how the Vav, in the form of ‫ ו ו ו‬or 666, has been mystically
inserted into the Shema Yisrael prayer and is engraved in the Tefillin, the
cube-shaped phylactery worn on the head while reciting the Shema.
The Shema is a traditional Jewish prayer taken from the following four
texts: Exodus 13:1-10, Exodus 13:11-16, Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and
Deuteronomy 11:13-21. The verses are recited twice daily, in the morning
and the evening, and are a testament to the glory of God and His enduring
faithfulness to His people. The most well known verse of the Shema is in
the sixth chapter of Deuteronomy. When Jesus was asked by a Pharisee,
which is the greatest commandment, He quoted Deuteronomy 6:5, “Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind.” The plain meaning of the verse could not be clearer.
However, like the Pharisees, the kabbalist rabbis imposed their traditions
and interpretations into the Scriptures long ago as a secret link to god,
thereby elevating themselves above the people and nullifying the Word of
God.

In Kabbalah the Vav represents the complete connection of everything in the

universe and is symbolic of the first six words in the Genesis account of
creation. The sixth word in Genesis is ‫ואת‬, Vav, Aleph, Tav; “the Vav
connects the heavens and the earth.” 215 On the sixth day of creation God
created man in his own image. (Genesis 1:27) The opening verse of the
Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4 also contains six words (‫ד אח יהוה אלהינו יהוה‬
‫ )ישראל עשמ‬and according to Kabbalah, the prayer has a gematria of 666,
denoting the time of Moshiach’s arrival.
“The significance of this lies in the Zohar’s explanation of the coming
of Moshiach and the end of the 4th exile at the end of the 70 years…
from Israel’s statehood in 1948…The Shema is about bringing
Mashiach Ben David…In this case the word value 50 is coupled with
word for “the time” or “the days”…[and] has the numerical value of
666. Thus, together, they give us the equation 50 x 66.6 jubilee years=
3330 years, which, as we’ve said, is the exact period of time from the
first exodus and the reception of the Torah at Sinai when the tree-of-life
was last offered to us in 2448 to the year 5778 [2018], which the
tzaddikim have long known will be the next cosmic window for the Tree-
of-life reality.” 216
Tefillin are a set of two black cubes containing the Scripture passages of the
Shema. The cubes are bound to the forehead and arm while reciting the
Shema in an outward display of obedience to Deuteronomy 6:8, “And thou
shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.” (See Matthew 23:5) The ritual of putting on Tefillin is
a mitzvot and binding seal on the person which connects the worlds above
with the world below, as well as the world to come. 217

The cube is symbolic of the occult image of Zeir Anpin, the six-sided
celestial creature Metatron, and represents the six directions of the universe;
above, below, north, south, east and west. According to Kabbalah, all
physical objects, including man, have these six sides. As the number 6, the
Vav represents the completion of man, as seen in the god-man image of the
Tetragrammaton shown above where the Vav connects the upper Hé and the
lower Hé in the name YHVH.
“The elemental cube was constructed of a Vav (‫ )ו‬in its length, width
and height and thus numerically 6 x 6 x 6…when the Zohar refers to
this cube shape…it most often describes it as the 6 directions…
referring to the 6 directions of Zeir Anpin formed by the letter Vav (‫ )ו‬of
the Tetragrammaton (‫ )יהוה‬as it entered and created our 3-dimension
space.” 218
Tefillin is a sign or mark of “connecting to the Infinite” through mitzvot.
219 The ritual of Tefillin also completes the unification of Zeir Anpin and
Shekhinah, that part of god waiting to be redeemed from the pit by the
assistance of those who invoke her in unison! The following excerpt from
kabbalahsecrets.com explains:
“The last word of the 6 word verse is Echad…if we sum their standard
gematria value (YHVH, YHVH and Echad) we get…the numerical
value of Adonai, the pronounceable aspect (counterpart) of the YHVH,
thus completing the all-important unification of Zeir Anpin and
Malchut (Heaven and Earth if you will) and/or of G-d and the
Shechina, the male and female aspects of G-d. This is the spiritual
unification, which if injected into our lives and our daily dealings will
help bring about the end of exile and the final redemption. This is why
the complete (ordinal plus standard gematria) value of the initials of all
6 words is 385, the numerical value of the Shechina, the female or
earthly (divine presence) aspect of G-d. It is also one of the reasons
why the Shema verse begins with the letter Shin from Shechina
(ShCYNH) and ends with Dalet or numerical value 4, kabbalistically
signifying the 4 letters of the YHVH…This will bring about the
transition into the tree-of-life…If there is one prayer that ALL (kol)
Israel says it is the Shema Ysrael. Let it be with the consciousness to
bring Oneness and Moshiach.” 220
In Judaism Tefillin is known as the “Mark of HaShem” and “an intimate
connection between HaShem and His people.” 221 This connection is
symbolized in the vav, vav, vav (666) that is engraved in the Tefillin cube
worn on the forehead. On one side of the cube is the Hebrew letter shin ‫ש‬.
On the other side of the cube there is a four-headed shin, which is not a
letter, but a mystical sign that conceals the number 666.
Rabbi Zamir Cohen, chairman of Hidabroot, the world’s largest Jewish TV
network, explains the meaning behind Tefillin. 222 In a television
presentation titled “Tefillin – What is their Meaning and How Do We Wear
Them?” Cohen describes the black boxes in spiritual and scientific terms.
He states that the brain is the “entrance gate of man’s spiritual
illuminations,” therefore the head Tefillin acts as a “receptor…for the
reception of the spiritual illumination from the eternal light” which he
identifies as Ein Sof. 223
Addressing the structure of the head Tefillin, Cohen reveals the vav, vav,
vav or 666 hidden in the four-headed shin, stating:
“I will briefly say that it possesses a big secret. When we look at the
background, not the bulge, but rather, the background, we have a
“vav”, another “vav”, another “vav”, meaning, inside these four heads
we have 3 “vavs” and 3 heads, and when you take the line in the
background that’s on the bottom, you have an internal Shin, that’s
basically concealed inside the four headed Shin.” 224

Cohen implies that by wearing Tefillin a man may be transformed [by

energies] to a higher spiritual level. He states, “That when a person wears
tefillin, the color of his aura changes to a higher level” and that “These
things are proven today” as “new research studies are revealing new
things.” 225 In another teaching Cohen affirms the omen of the Zohar that
states Israel “will be redeemed under the secret of the letter ‘vav’. And it
will be in the sixth millennium.” 226 The rabbis testify: 6 is the number of
redemption, 666 the number of divine illumination.
The Babylonian Talmud relates the Zohar’s creation fable of the mystical
mark of Tav as a future and climactic event in Israel’s redemption. This is
based on the kabbalistic principle of interconnection which states, “The
beginning is wedged in the end, and the end is wedged in the beginning.”
227 The following commentary on the Talmud reveals that ‫( ו ו ו‬666) is
concealed in the Hebrew letter Tav, the mark of Hashem, written as ‫ת‬:

“Tefillin being a mark of HaShem is also mentioned in the Talmud…

According to our Sages, at the battle of Gog and Magog every human
in and around the Holy City will be given the mark of the Hebrew
letter, tav, upon their forehead. According to the Tanakh {in Ezekiel 9}
and the Talmud {in Shabbath 55a}, the Mark of HaShem’s sign – the,
tav - will be placed upon everyone in and around Jerusalem. Those
that receive the mark in ink will be the righteous and those that receive
the mark in blood will be condemned.”

“18 = ‫ ו‬6 (right) ‫ ו‬6 (top) ‫ ו‬6 (left)…The Gematria construction of the
Tav is a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6 on the right plus a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6 on the top plus a ‫ ו‬Vav = 6
on the left. The constructed Gematria is 18…When we examine the
Hebrew text of Ezekiel 9:4 we find that the English word “mark” is
used to translate the two Hebrew characters ‫תו‬, which spell out tav…
‫ת‬.” 228

Tractate Shabbath 55a of the Babylonian Talmud recounts the rabbinic

discussion on which the above scenario is based:

“The Holy One, blessed be He, spake thus to them; Commence

[destruction] from the place where song is uttered before Me. And who
were the six men? — Said R. Hisda: Indignation [Kezef], Anger [Af],
Wrath [Hemah], Destroyer [Mashhith] Breaker [Meshabber] and
Annihilator [Mekaleh]. And why a ‫ ת‬tav? — Said Rab:, Tav [stands for]
tihyeh [thou shalt live], ‫ ת‬tav [stands for] tamuth [thou shalt die]…‫ ת‬Tav
is the end of the seal of the Holy One, blessed be He. For R. Hanina said:
The seal of the Holy One, blessed be He, is emeth [truth]…It denotes the
people who fulfilled the Torah from ‫ א‬alef to ‫ ת‬tav.” 229

For those familiar with the Jewish legend of the golem – also recorded in
the Talmud – it will not be difficult to recognize the dark undertones
reflected in this dialogue. The Babylonian Talmud records how the rabbis
created a man from clay through the magic of Kabbalah by using the secret
names of god (a permissible form of sorcery according to the Sefer Yetsirah
and the Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 65b and 67b). 230 The most well
known fable in this series is the golem of Prague. The word emet, or truth,
was inscribed on the forehead of the creature to keep him alive. By erasing
the first letter aleph (which represents oneness with Ein Sof) only the word
met (death) remained, resulting in the destruction of the mindless
manservant. This twisted concept of truth is a continuous theme postulated
in the rabbinic writings of Kabbalah by those who have actually rejected the
truth:
“In English we express the concept of total truth by saying that
something is true “from A to Z.” In Hebrew the word for truth is ‫ב מ א‬
(EMeT). Its first letter is the very first letter of the Hebrew alphabet,
the ‫( א‬alef). The last letter is ‫( ב‬tav), the end of the Alef-Bet. The exact
middle of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet is the ‫( מ‬mem)…Truth
demands total accuracy from start to finish, including every point in
the middle as well…Truth requires for its essence the first letter ‫א‬
(alef), the “One” standing for the Almighty. Remove the initial letter in
‫( ב מ א‬EMeT) and all that remains is ‫( ב מ‬MT). Without God there can
be no truth. In its place only death and destruction remain...God
makes Himself manifest through His law. In its three forms,
Decalogue, Mishnah, and Talmud, its opening letters make the word ‫ב‬
‫( מ א‬EMeT), as seal of its truth.” 231

The Zohar interprets the Shema as the “supernal mystery” of the oneness of
Ein Sof emanating through the “seed” of the “engraved letters” from aleph
to tav, from beginning to end. 232 According to the Zohar, reciting the
Shema with ritualistic intention unifies the spheres of the sefirot tree: “The
third commandment: to realize that God exists – vast and controlling the
world – and to unify Him fittingly each day in those six supernal directions,
unifying them through the six words of ‫( שמע ישראל‬Shema Yisra’el), Hear,
O Israel! (Deuteronomy 6:4).” 233 The commentary on the Pritzker Edition
of the Zohar explains, “The first line of the Shema contains six words in
Hebrew…These six words symbolize the unity above…The second line of
the Shema (a nonbiblical response) also contains six words…These six
words symbolize Shekhinah (…Malkhut [“Kingdom’]) and Her
accompanying powers. The two realms correspond and eventually unite.”
234

Once more we see the kingdom above uniting with the kingdom below and
becoming one. Anyone who is not one with the god of the coming kingdom
on earth will not be part of the kingdom. Only those who keep the law
from aleph to tav will remain alive in the 7th millennium of shabbat! By
their own testimony, in the words of the sages of Kabbalah, the mark of the
converging kingdoms is the letter of the law, by which those who keep the
law are conformed to the image of their god:
“The word One in the Shema should be equal in the duration of its
pronunciation to the six words…The third space or section contains the
Shema. “Hear Oh Israel, the Lord our God is one God,” and is a
commentary on the letter V (vau) which proceeds from the two letters
before it and unites them…From these observations we may gather the
occult meaning of the phylacteries. They are really explanations of the
letters of the Tetragrammaton or divine name…Whoever wears the
phylacteries bears the divine likeness, for as the divine essence is
expressed in the Tetragrammaton, so man becomes bearer of his
image.” 235

In an age driven by technology and sensationalism, Christians can

sometimes get caught up in the script. But in God’s universe nothing
changes. Salvation, the true redemption, has always been by faith. Romans
4:3-11 tells us that Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for
righteousness; the sign of circumcision being a seal of the righteousness
imputed to him by God through faith.

The enticement of knowledge as the pathway to the Creator is very

tempting. The rabbis of Kabbalah say that in the future, technology will
make it possible for everyone to know the mysteries of creation:

“As the world nears the era of Mashiach, knowledge in all areas of life
is rapidly expanding. This concept is found in the Zohar…prophesied
in the Zohar that scientific revelation—the knowledge from below—
will converge with the knowledge from “Above”—the rapidly
exploding revelation of mysticism and Hassidism. In a sentence, one
may summarize the Zohar by saying that science and religion will
converge. As time goes on, science will reveal the profound secrets of
creation as already described in the mystical tradition, and it will
provide the technological means for all to access that information.” 236

Those who adhere to the Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah believe that
when all nations are observing the law then God will be appeased and
Moshiach will come to set up his kingdom. According to them, the
Gentiles from the nations who keep the seven Noahide laws – Universal
Moral Code – become righteous Gentiles and will have a place in the
world to come. The Kabbalah rabbis of Chabad insist that this is “the most
crucial last stage before the arrival of Messiah: for Jews to teach the Seven
Noahide Laws to the nations.” 237

“‘Why Are the Noahide Laws Especially Important Today?’ Today, we

are on the verge of a new era for humankind, a time when we will
finally live together in peace and the world will be filled with divine
wisdom. Those who keep these basic rules will have a share in that
world, since, after all, they took part in making it possible.” 238

The first Noahide law codified in the Babylonian Talmud states, “Do not
profane G-d’s Oneness in any way.” 239 The Brit Olam Noahide World
Center has even published a Prayer Book for Noahides as a means for non-
Jews to help hasten the redemption. In an online interview featuring the
book, Rabbi Cherki, who directed the project, stated, “The nations may say
the first line of the Shema which is a declaration of faith that God is one…
According to Jewish sources, in the future, God will be one throughout the
world.” 240 Based on the information presented in their own sources, which
god are the rabbis referring to? Is it Ein Sof, Shekhinah, Metatron,
Leviathan, the holy kosher serpent? Which god are we to be unified with
by obedience to the law? And let’s not forget that disobedience to any one
of the Noahide laws incurs the death penalty by decapitation!

In his letter to the Galatians the Apostle Paul wrote, “Just as Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Therefore
know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. And the
Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached
the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, In you all the nations shall be
blessed. So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing
Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse;
for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things
which are written in the book of the law, to do them. But that no one is
justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for the just shall live by
faith.” (Galatians 3:6-11)

This is basic Christianity 101. Therefore it can only be concluded that there
is a supernatural force at work in this movement and it is the spirit of
antichrist and strong delusion. In the final analysis, there is no doubt that
the message of the kosher pig, the sound of the shofar, the harbinger, the
moral code – whatever label they put on it – is the Clarion Call for
Christians to turn from the grace that is in Christ through faith and return to
the law and covenants which Jesus abolished in His flesh:

Even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make

in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that He might
reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the
enmity thereby.
Ephesians 2:15-16

The Greek word used for “mark” in the Book of Revelation is charagma
(5480). Strong’s Concordance defines it as: a scratch or etching (to
sharpen, to a point), i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or sculptured
figure, graven, mark. The word mark is used a total of eight times in the
Book of Revelation in reference to the mark of the beast. The same Greek
word – charagma – is used in Acts 17:29. The English word there is
graven, and refers to the inscription that was engraved on the altar to the
unknown god which Paul came upon in Athens. Paul used this word to
explain to the men of Athens that God who made all things, the Lord of
heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples; neither can His Divine Nature
be expressed through any graven image.

Revelation 13:11-14 says the beast coming up out of the earth exercises the
power of the first beast so that he causes those on the earth to worship the
first beast through deception by the miracles he performs. As the god of
this world, Satan manifests himself in the external religious and political
systems of this world. The Babylonian Talmud and Kabbalah set forth the
mark of the righteous as a name or number which represents truth or EMeT;
the seal of truth of a fleshly, earthly kingdom. This is a counterfeit of the
seal that is set upon those who believe the testimony of Jesus Christ.

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is
true.
John 3:33
The word seal used in John 3:33 is sphragizo and means to stamp (with a
signet or private mark) for security or preservation; to set a seal upon; a
signet (as fencing in or protection from misappropriation); a stamp of
genuineness. It is the same word used in John 6:27 where Jesus said God
the Father has sealed the Son to give everlasting life through the true work
of God, which is to “believe on Him whom the Father has sent.

Ephesians 1:13 says that after hearing the Word of truth and believing the
gospel of salvation we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise which is
the earnest – the security deposit – of the purchased possession! (Ephesians
4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:22) The price of our redemption has been paid by the
blood of Jesus Christ. “And as we have borne the image of the earthy,” the
first man Adam from the dust, “we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly,” the last Adam, Jesus Christ from above, who was made a life-
giving Spirit. (1 Corinthians 15:45-49)

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God. 1 Corinthians 15:50

These verses from 1 Corinthians 15 clearly set forth that the Kingdom of
God established by Jesus Christ is not the earthly kingdom that is being
heralded by the Kabbalah rabbis of today’s Judaism. Corruption cannot
inherit incorruption. A perishable body bearing the image of Adam can
never attain to the imperishable image of the resurrected Christ through the
works of the flesh. Paul shows us the mystery that was prophesied in Isaiah
25:8 and Hosea 13:14; that time when we shall be changed, when the
corruptible will put on incorruption, when this mortal shall put on
immortality and death is swallowed up in victory.

In this most important chapter on the resurrection, Paul concludes with a

profound statement in verse 56: “The sting of death is sin; and the strength
of sin is the law.” So powerful is the strength of sin that it is impossible for
the natural man to overcome it by the works of the law. “But thanks be to
God, Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ…and this is
the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith…that believes that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God!
Do not be deceived. There will never come a time when believers in Christ
must choose to take a mark for God in opposition to the mark of the beast,
which some are teaching today. The foundation of God stands sure, having
this seal; The Lord knows those who are His. (2 Timothy 2:19)

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord…Who

hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was given
us in Christ Jesus before the world began…now made manifest by the
appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and
hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2
Timothy 1:8-10

After the crucifixion of Jesus, His apostles were in hiding, perplexed by the
apparent loss of their Messiah. In their minds they were sure that it was
Jesus who should have redeemed Israel. (Luke 24:21) After the report by
the women that the tomb was empty, two of His disciples went to the
village of Emmaus. As Jesus approached them on the way, they did not
know Him because their eyes were restrained. After telling Him all that
had happened, Jesus said to them, “Oh fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken,” and beginning at Moses and all the
prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning
Himself. Verse 32 says He opened the Scriptures. As Jesus continued with
them and sat down to eat He broke bread – symbolic of His body which had
been broken in death – and gave it to them and their eyes were opened and
they knew Him.

Immediately after this the two disciples returned to Jerusalem, testifying to

the eleven and those who were with them “how He was known to them in
the breaking of bread.” And as they were speaking, Jesus appeared to them
in His resurrected body and opened their understanding, that they might
understand the Scriptures:

These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses,
and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me. Luke 24:44-
45
Though they had walked with Him and sat under His teachings for three
years, the disciples did not even know Jesus until He opened the eyes of
their understanding. How much more do we, who have never seen Him,
need our eyes opened by the Holy Spirit of Truth in these days of such great
deception? How would we know Him if He were to come to Jerusalem?

In Matthew chapters 23 and 24 the disciples asked Jesus, Tell us, when shall
these things be? And what shall be the sign of your coming and of the end
of the age? Jesus did not say, ‘Hey guys, when you see all these things
happening, get ready, because I’m coming back. You will know that I am
the Messiah and we’re going to set up the kingdom in Jerusalem!’ Instead,
He warned them, “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
there; believe it not…if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert;
go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

If the rabbis of Kabbalah tell you the Moshiach is here, believe it not! If
they say he is in the temple, go not forth!

Mystery Babylon: The Great City Jerusalem

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE
MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH…And I heard another voice
from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
receive not of her plagues.
Revelation 17:5, 18:4

Revelation 11:8 Reveals the Identity of the Great City 

Revelation 11:8 - And their dead bodies (the two witnesses) shall lie in the street of the
great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was
crucified (Jerusalem).

Jesus was Crucified in the City of Jerusalem, the Great City

Matthew 20:17-19 - And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart
in the way, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn
him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to
crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

The Scriptures Refer to Mystery Babylon as the Great City

What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation 18:10 - Alas, alas that great city Babylon. That mighty city! For in one
hour is thy judgment come.
 Revelation 16:19 - And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the
cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

Mystery Babylon is Drunk with the Blood of the Prophets and Martyrs of Jesus Christ

Luke 13:33 - ...for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem.
Revelation 17:6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and
with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus:  and when I saw her, I wondered with great
amazement.
Revelation 18:24 - And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of
all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation 18:20 - Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets;
for God hath avenged you on her.
Revelation 16:6 – For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast
given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Jesus Identifies the Harlot with the Blood of the Righteous Prophets Upon Her Hands

Matthew 23:37-39 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee. How often would I have gathered thy children
together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate (Jerusalem is now seen in the eyes of
God as desolate; as Sodom and Egypt!). For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23:34-35 - (Jesus speaking to the Pharisees) Wherefore, behold, I send unto
you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify;
and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city
to city: that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from
the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye
slew between the temple and the altar.
Luke 11:49-52 - (Jesus speaking to the Pharisees) Therefore also said the wisdom of
God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and
persecute: that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of
the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the
blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say
unto you, it shall be required of this generation.

Mystery Babylon is Burned with Fire in Judgment

great city!
Ezekiel 16:41 - And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments
upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the
harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

Old Testament Scriptures Identify the Harlot

Isaiah 1:21 - How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment;
righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers. (Compare with Jesus' words to the
Pharisees, "You are of your father the devil...He was a murderer from the
beginning...because there is no truth in him. John 8:44)
Ezekiel 16:35 - Wherefore, O harlot, hear the Word of the Lord.
Ezekiel 16:15 - But you trusted in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of
your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.
(See verses 16 & 28)
Deuteronomy 31:16 - And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you will rest with your
fathers; and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of
the land, where they go to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My
covenant which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy 31:29 - (Moses speaking to the elders before his death) For I know that
after my death you will become utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I
have commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do
evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.

The Harlot is Clothed with Babylonian Scarlet and Purple

Revelation 17:4, 18:16 - And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full
of abominations and filthiness of her fornications…The merchants of these things,
which were made rich by her…saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in
fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and
pearls!
Jeremiah 4:30 - And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest
thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold…in vain shalt
thou make thyself fair. (See Ezekiel 23:14-19)
 The Voice of the Bridegroom Heard no More in the Great City

Jeremiah 7:34 - Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the
streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
Jeremiah 16:9 - For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will
cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and
the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Jeremiah 25:10 - Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of
gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the
millstones, and the light of the candle.
Revelation 18:21-23 - And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and
cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown
down, and shall be found no more at all. And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and
of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of
whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone
shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at
all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at
all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were
all nations deceived.

New Jerusalem is the Great City of God

Isaiah 65:17 - For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former
shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah 66:22 - For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall
remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
John 14:2-3 - In my Father's house are many mansions...I go to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
2 Peter 3:13 - Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Hebrews 11:10, 16 - For he (Abraham) looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God...But now they desire a better country, that is, an
heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared
for them a city.
Revelation 21:2, 10 - And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband...And he
carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great
city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
Revelation 21:23-24 - And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And
the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it.
This is a partial list of Scriptures which identifies Jerusalem as Mystery Babylon, the Great City and
Mother of Harlots. There are over 80 Scriptures in the Old Testament that refer to Jerusalem as a
harlot and many more that denounce her for her harlotries and whoredom with the gods of the
surrounding nations.

YEA, YE TOOK UP THE TABERNACLE OF MOLOCH, AND THE STAR OF YOUR GOD
REMPHAN, IMAGES WHICH YE MADE TO WORSHIP THEM: AND I WILL CARRY
YOU AWAY BEYOND BABYLON.
Acts 7:43

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god,
which ye made to yourselves.
Amos 5:26

The six-pointed star has a history dating back to ancient Babylon. In Kabbalah it has long been
regarded as an expression of the sacred name, the Tetragrammaton; the seal of the divine image of
God connecting heaven and earth and a sign of universal redemption. The following quote is from
the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 241

“The legend of King Solomon’s Seal, of the wondrous signet ring which he received from
heaven, is common to Judaism, to Christianity and to Islam. King Solomon’s Seal, whose base
is on the ground and whose tip reaches heaven, symbolizes a harmony of opposites…It relfects
the cosmic order, the skies, the movement of the stars in their spheres, and the perpetual flow
between heaven and earth…The seal, therefore, represents super-human wisdom and rule by
divine grace…the abstract element of the figure and its geometrical completeness make it a
universal symbol…The symbol of the hexagram, the star-like figure formed by two triangles,
has many connotations, especially when it is enclosed by a circle. The magic drawings of the
hexagram and the pentagram were known as seals, in keeping with the idea that a person
‘stamps himself’ with these signs in order to protect himself from harmful spirits. This term is
connected to the legend of King Solomon who controlled the demons by means of a special
signet ring on which was engraved the Tettragrammaton. The seal only had power for one
thing to provide protection from malevolent forces.”
